@carolinelucas.bsky.social presented a blueprint for fixing this in 2015 with the NHS Reinstatement Bill. It's been over 10 years and successive governments have ignored it. I will continue fighting to amend this Health Bill, to remove outsourcing and profiteering from our NHS. 2/2

The NHS is not for sale. For decades public health has suffered because of private companies prioritising profits over patient care. This extraction has carried on under our noses, hidden behind the NHS logo. 🧵1/2

It's not enough to hope that people choose trains over cars. We need to make rail the best option available, for the planet and for passengers' pockets. It's also essential that we add a binding modal shift duty to this bill to ensure true legal accountability.

We can't seriously expect people to choose rail when it costs three times as much as flying. We need a clear duty on the Secretary of State and Great British Railways, to improve the affordability of travelling by train and make fares fair.

The FCDO advises against all travel to Syria. Yet, the UK government is telling settled refugees that it's safe and demanding they go back. Syria is not a safe country for displaced people to return to. Refugees deserve long term security as they build their lives here and contribute to society.

Here's something the media is hardly talking about. This Government is set to oversee the steepest fall in living standards in modern times - unless they change course fast. In less than two weeks Labour faces a stark choice - will they tax wealth and back the majority?

Under current projections this is set to be the worst parliament on record for living standards growth - and a bar chart demonstrating it
