In case you’re not sure why the NHS isn’t working any more, it’s because the service is being slowly dismantled by politicians who are turning it into a cash cow for private companies, starving it of resource so it doesn’t work properly, and enabling the private sector to expand rapidly 🚨

The Tories were so concerned about an enquiry into historic child abuse by grooming gangs, they did nothing to start or a facilitate an enquiry over the last 14 years. Claiming to care about abused children now, is nothing more than a political stunt.
