Being a socialist is a moral imperative about fairness and equality.
Being right-wing, tory or ‘centrist ‘are ALL positions based on selfishness, divisiveness, inequality, othering, and profit before people and environment.
Pick a side.

The Rules
What is a game without rules? What are rules, if we've stopped playing the game?

Who is going to do all of the work for these private companies bringing down NHS waiting lists? Staff who have been poached from the NHS of course. The private health sector in the UK trains almost no staff, takes on NHS work and does so to create a profit for shareholders. 🚨🚨🚨

It's time to take our water back
Privatised water represents the most unholy of business models – all the while, bills go up, and sewage spews into our rivers and seas.

The Labour prime minister has announced a 20% expansion of private provision of NHS services. Ideological neoliberalism goes on.

Starmer deepens NHS privatisation.
Can increase NHS capacity by buying private hospitals.
Plan won't generate new health staff. Private sector will poach NHS staff.
NHS to be a shell, doling out contracts to private sector. 30%-40% money will vanish in profits.

If only people hated the billionaires who are actually destroying their lives as much as the immigrants who aren't.
But I guess it's because the immigrants don't own the Media and tell people every second of every day that the billionaires are the problem.

An inconvenient truth for Labour:
NHS privatisation is entirely un-evidence-based and the public has never agreed to it.
All evidence is that privatisation is:
1) more expensive for taxpayers, and
2) has worse outcomes for patients

Despite what politicians say, in my experience NHS patients aren’t bothered about ‘choosing their healthcare provider’. They just want their local NHS hospital to function properly. But guess who loves it? Private companies seeking to infiltrate the NHS🚨

This would cut the cost by 40% overnight.
Then Social care could easily be provided to all.
