Tory legacy

57,000 patients in England died last yr as a result of waiting over 12 hours in A&E depts.

1.77m waits of 12 hours or more.

Tory Govt neglected the NHS. Hospital waiting list trebled in 14 yrs, appeased corporations/rich with tax cuts, poor suffer.

More than 57,000 people died in A&E last year, research suggests
The grim tally - which is equal to around 160 deaths every day - is four times greater than estimated by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) in 2023.

If you're Right Wing and you aren't at least a multimillionaire.

You are a stupid mark.

Right Wing politics is for the rich, to protect the rich, and to keep you poor, that is all it is about.

35% of people in the UK will never own their own home.
10% of adults are reliant on Food Banks.
15% of people will never have £10,000 at one time in their entire lives.

And we are supposed to worry about farmers who aren't happy getting only £3,500,000 inheritance tax free.

F*ck off.

Child Poverty % (children living in households below the minimum wage)

Denmark 2.4%
Finland 3.2%
Norway 3.6%
Sweden 3.6%

The UK 32.1%

All four of those countries have child benefits, paid by taxing the rich, that make it almost impossible for a child to be in poverty.

Private equity sharks cash in on foster care.

Just three made £40m profit from the plight of vulnerable children.

Foster carers paid £7.50 an hour, treated as self employed, denied workers' rights, rely on benefits.

Privatisation delivers exploitation.
