Wow after weaponising it, using it to reinstall far right government, using it to install Starmer & rightwing Labour, he now complains it's been weaponised.
What a disingenuous, dangerous, hypocrite. He can't wash away his guilt that easily
As a Jew, I have become increasingly worried that the charge of antisemitism is being levelled to silence legitimate and important debate. Antisemitism is on the rise, but there is also a rise in the unscrupulous use of the term to silence reasonable questions about the Israeli
Isn't it strange that our regions can be privatised & yet no political "opposition" or union or mainstream media is talking about it?
Isn't it strange our NHS has been replaced with multiple American 'systems' & same people are not talking about it?
If the MSM don’t start paying serious attention to Cons and Labour’s 86 SEZs, the U.K. will be privatized, everything you take for granted will be swept away, all public services and councils owned by corporations. The capture of an entire country by predatory capitalism. The End

Too many people believe tgevNHS still exists beyond a "NHS" logo, it has been replaced by 42 American systems in England so its no longer a national service nor universal nor does it offer a comprehensive range of services & meds- its being constantly shrunk hence 7m waiting list

We need a mass movement as big as poll tax to halt the rollout of unlawful American Integrated Care Systems & to oppose the misnamed Health & Care Bill then we have to demand the renationalisation & reinstatement of the NHS based on the successful, efficient, cheaper Bevan model
@daliagebrial
NHS has been remodelled on US systems, been going on for so long. We are at the end stages. They remodelled it without any political or legal mandate via NHSE quango & media "failed" to notice & usually helped it along, as did political parties, many unions, CCGs etc
@hcorscaddenRM
That's the thing though, it's not about being "cost effective" for the public purse, its about providing as little care as possible to increase the amount taken out as profits, so denying us Care doesn't save us/treasury any money, it increases profits, dividends & big bonuses

Now THAT's a politician!

Oxymoron- the NHS can't be a public service if it has private profiteers embedded in it. The NHS as per Bevan was a single provider- no need for multiple commissioners or providers. What has replaced it is an expensive, dangerous US multi-system model hiding behind "NHS" logo
They've GOT to be joking! Well all those "midlife women" I know, including me, won't touch Labour with a bargepole. Especially those who were smeared, placed under investigation/expelled, those who worked towards a socialist govt & had it stolen away by entryists
Exc - Labour has a new target voter - midlife women. Women aged 45-65 hold key to many swing seats & Labour has new policies to win them over on NHS, menopause and flexible work.

@NickFerrariLBC
It is not in crisis because of covid, it was in crisis long before that due to years of privatisation by stealth, years of £billions being siphoned off away from frontline services & staff pay into pockets of profiteers, americanisation, denationalisation, rationing & closures
Half a £billion in taxes owed to the public purse & these thieves & scroungers have the cheek to point the finger at people on a pittance on sickness benefit, PIP or universal credit?? Track him down, send him back here & lock him up along with Mone. No cosy deals w HMRC
Lord Bamford, with a debt of £500,000,000 to HMRC, has retired from the House of Lords and absconded. He anticipates his debt, akin to Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 liability, to be nullified. It's imperative to retrieve every pound from these individuals and prosecute them.

Reinstate Bevan's NHS model, universal, offering comprehensive services, treatments & medications, covering us all and all our clinical needs when we need it! Including dentistry, ophthalmology, prescriptions, travel, mental health & addiction support services

Hancock lying again! They literally can't tell the truth. Its impossible for them. BBC R4 lets them get away with it time & again. Would have been simple to check the veracity by calling Marcus Rashford for comment
Yes we all knew at the time, Labour leadership seem to be odd ones out, at the same time, wasn't Starmer sending cosy letters to Johnson offering full support to force schools to fully open, force all kids back "no ifs no buts" regardless of no ventilation, social distancing etc?
So they knew Rishi Sunak’s ‘eat out, to help out’ helped covid spread.
They knew was a problem in ‘intervention areas’ eg Leicester where we were in a longer lock down.
They covered it up but the truth is Sunak’s schemes meant more restrictions and a longer Leicester lockdown.
@EmergMedDr
It's not the patient's fault that ICSs/govt have closed 125 A&Es, shrunk capacity etc. You can't pour a pint of beer into a half pint glass. They deserve to be treated when they need it. Making people wait days in A&E is inhumane. They might hv a baby or elderly parent at home
they are questioning the mandate of politicians, NHSE, Royal Colleges and unions to push through the restructuring of health on the US model & they are talking about patient safety being paramount- which should have always been the first consideration
