Hello I’m the CEO of BT and have to let you know how dangerous Corbyn’s broadband policy is. I have flown back from the Cayman Islands on my private jet & foregone an entire weekend in my villa to ensure that people continue to pay lots of money to my company for shit broadband!

The year is 2025, you send a polite email to your MP asking them to support your campaign to save the local primary school.
Within the hour you are bundled into the back of a police car and taken to one of Starmer’s maximum security super-prisons and given 5 years for thuggery.

There is a really strange phenomena from Starmer fans that I’ve been seeing a lot of lately. He will go on record and say something terrible & these people will say ‘oh yes, but what he meant was’ or ‘It’s clear he meant’

“Free at the point of use” does not mean no privatisation! Far from it.
Councils could be forced to pay huge sums to private providers instead of actually funding a public NHS. When they push up the cost (greater profit!) we’ll have no recourse.
Means testing etc. follows.
I'm fully committed to the NHS as a public service free at the point of use.
Sharing this for the ‘but he wAnTs to PriVaTisE the nHS’ brigade who think that reform = privatisation and can’t comprehend that we might learn from other countries.
