Inequality in the UK is overwhelmingly *within* generations, not between them. .

Not about old vs young/'privileged boomers', but income and wealth inequality.

(As I've been saying for last decade..)

In 2014 the NHS was the best healthcare system in the world but now government cuts and privatisation are destroying it

Labour MUST promise to invest in NHS staff and beds, not waste that money on risky private sector contracts LabourList

Most private Doctors are also employed in NHS…..

Increasing private work for NHS patients just means moving our staff away from public services and increasing profits of private healthcare.

How does that help?

“The introduction of unnecessary photo ID could be the difference between victory and defeat for high profile Conservatives in marginal constituencies”

Jacob Rees-Mogg said it himself – Voter ID was an attempt to “gerrymander”. So we’re challenging it 🗳️

Farmer Henry Ward, 'I literally can't believe it. I stood on the bridge with the Chairman of the Environment Agency, the Minister for Flooding, NFU president, looking at 2,000 acres of land with 2 meters of water on it. It didn't even cross my mind that I wouldn't be eligible for…

Incredible exclusive by Pippa Crerar. Sunak paid £2m for focus groups to check whether 'Eat Out To Help Out' would be a popular thing to do, but neglected to even tell the govt's scientific and medical advisors so they could assess the health risk. ~AA

In a nutshell!

What is clearly unsustainable is the Conservative way of doing things.
For the UK to be sustainable, we need to . Frankly, it’s them or us.

Oh dear! Barry Sheerman MP NHS will be reduced to a shell doling out contracts to private hospitals. The shell will be retained to create illusions. Fat profits for few. Then they will tell us it is unaffordable... pay for GP, ambulance, buy insurance... leading to misery, US style personal bankruptcies

Well actually, the obvious reply to danny is it’s not the voters we don’t trust, it’s the politicians. Particularly him and his vicious far right companions.

Politicians have decimated the NHS. Now nonsense like this is being written by people who are trying to manufacture consent to replace it with a different model. Don’t let them 🚨

If you choose to spend NHS money on the private sector instead of NHS staff and beds you ARE privatising the NHS, not building it up

The private sector cannot provide a real solution even in short term - it doesn't provide A&E and relies on the same pool of doctors as the NHS
