The NHS has very much been privatised by stealth in the last 30 years and people don't realise just how much of the NHS budget is going straight into billionaires pockets as profit.
The biggest problem the NHS is suffering from is Privatisation
They are wasting tens of billions of pounds of their budget on renting their own properties, paying ripoff rate loans (that Government could get 3/4x cheaper), and paying upto 3x as much for privatised services.

Raising the pension age is not the Labour Party I voted for, not the 'change' I voted for. I want a traditional policy Labour Government. @labour@blueskyuk
In 2026, the UK state pension age will rise to 67 from 66, fully implemented by 2028.
Rich retire whenever they want. The poor die at work, receive low pension, have shorter life.
Low wages = low private pension. Neoliberals want to cut state pension, inflict more misery on millions.
