The government wants to bring back private finance in our NHS. 🤬 This would harm patients by siphoning off hundreds of millions of pounds in profits from our NHS. 🤑 Rachel Reeves and Wes Streeting, you can still drop these disastrous and unpopular plans. Share if you agree.
What they promised:
Change
"Under Labour, the NHS will always be publicly owned and publicly funded."
Labour Party Manifesto 2024
What they're doing:
"Ministers have handed firms £6m in contracts to help devise plans to build a network of new
NHS clinics using private capital, despite fears the move could turn into a PFI-style disaster."

Up till now I had no idea who Charlie Kirk was. Sounds unpleasant. Beats me why #BBC lead worth it. Its their US obsession again. To find the killer all the police need to do is find someone with a high velocity. There can't be that many in the US surely.
