The government wants to bring back private finance in our NHS. 🤬
This would harm patients by siphoning off hundreds of millions of pounds in profits from our NHS. 🤑
Rachel Reeves and Wes Streeting, you can still drop these disastrous and unpopular plans. Share if you agree.

😡This must be stopped!
Labour's 2024 manifesto promised our NHS would always be "publicly owned and publicly funded".
Now they are talking about reintroducing PFI into our NHS.
PFI would set a ticking time bomb under our NHS that will blow up in patients' faces - ACT NOW.

Say no to new PFI in our NHS - take action
The government’s new 10-Year Plan for Health is proposing to bring disastrous private finance deals back into our NHS.

You might want to think twice. The private water companies continue to vandalise our lakes and rivers, whilst laughing all the way to the bank. 🤑
No amount of regulation will stop this. We need public ownership NOW!

1/9 Steve Reed and his £100bn: a timeline.
Steve Reed says he won’t nationalise the water industry, because it would cost £100bn.
👀So where does that figure come from?👀
He claims that it comes from his own department.
🚨But it looks like it came from the private water companies.

It's performative. If Steve Reed were really "furious" about water bills, he wouldn't have ruled out renationalisation, or forbidden the Independent Water Commission to recommend it. He enables the filthiest, most parasitic capital to defeat the public interest.
