GPs are already managing more in the community

The problem is there is not enough GPs (specialists in General Medicine)

2000 fewer than 2015, 8000 short of what’s needed & over 3000 (FTE) available now if funding made available

GPs 20% cut in £/patient funding

In 2025 I'm stepping up this campaign. Sign up here 👇

The government has told elderly & disabled people to wait until 2028 to hear its plan for social care.

What about those who are suffering here and now?

We don’t need a commission to know what to do: end austerity, reverse privatisation and build a National Care Service for all.

Billionaires should not own social media platforms.

Billionaires should not run our newspapers.

Billionaires should not control our politics.

A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.
