I’m running the London Landmarks half marathon on 6th April for the wonderful children of alcoholics charity @NacoaUK.

I’m running for every child of an alcoholic & ‘Jon Ash.’

I would be so grateful if you could support me in anyway.

🚨 Nigel Farage wants charges for NHS treatment. That means:

▪️ £3,200 for cataract treatment.

▪️ £12,500 for hip replacement.

▪️ £13,625 for knee replacement.

NHS charges - the price of a Farage -Badenoch coalition of chaos.
