Govt's 10 year NHS Plan deepens privatisation. Govt "will enter discussions enter with private providers". Pushes PFI. For every £1 investment public purse repays £6 or more. NHS already suffering previous PFI. Corporate profits guaranteed. We pay more for less. Say NO to privatisation.

Politics is not a game. It's people's lives. The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.

Labour could tax the super-rich to end poverty, build social housing and fix our NHS. They are choosing to go after the worst-off instead. For a while, many people didn’t know what this government stood for. They do now: tough choices for the poor, endless money for war.
