EuropeanPowell Richard Murphy I compare the SEZs & Freeport's to the 42 Integrated Care Network in the NHS in England. This Claudia Webbe article clearly describes the principle of doing less to create more profit. The selling off of public services to the private sector is a cancer to our way of life.

All six Tory leadership candidates have promised tax cuts for the rich. Not one of them has set out a plan to fix the NHS.

They 'reformed' the railways They 'reformed' the water companies Do you really want them to 'reform' the NHS? We need to invest in primary care, in our workforce and in our capacity. We don't privatisation. #SOSNHS #Darzi

What Labour SHOULD have done about the winter fuel allowance to avoid controversy. 1. Announce it will be removed from all but poorest in Winter 2025, not 2024. 2. At same time, announce big year-long public information campaign to get everyone who qualifies onto Pension Credit

Can anyone name ANY British public service that has improved with privatisation?

If the richest 150 people in the UK paid 47% tax like you do it would bring in more than £40bn. £40bn from 150 greedy billionaires who currently pay almost nothing.

Technically this may be correct. But pensioners can call 0800 99 1234 and a helpful DWP person will fill it in over the phone. Most questions can be ignored.

NHS ‘reform’ is a code word for NHS privatisation!🚨

Any company that doesn’t pay full UK taxes, or with a large shareholder who is non-domiciled shouldn’t be allowed to tender for, or run any UK public service.

Free at the point of use and funded with public money is the cheapest and most efficient way of providing healthcare. When people say we can't afford the NHS, what they're saying is the poor shouldn't get healthcare.

Meet Emily Thornberry. She’s new Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee. She thinks an answer as to whether the starvation of children and the blocking of aid is in breach of international law is: “We have to stand with Israel” The state of politics.

Said it before and I’m gonna say it again. Private hospitals do NOT have A&E, they use NHS ambulances, in emergencies they use NHS Drs. Why TF do you think using the private sector will save our NHS? Tories admitted it cost more to use agency staff than just give NHS staff a pay

Maybe if millionaires were taxed more they'd have less money to buy clothes for rich people, and we'd have more money to keep pensioners warm or lift children out of poverty ...

So Huw Edwards gets a suspended sentence for buying and making pornographic images of children, while peaceful environmental defenders seeking to prevent social catastrophe get 3, 4 and 5 years. Some justice, this.
