After 40 years, privatisation of our public services has failed. It's time for public ownership. We use it, we pay for it, We Own It.

Karin Smyth wants us to believe that new NHS private finance will be 'fundamentally different'.
Her reason? Because the public owns the asset at the end of the PFI contract 🧐 1/3

🚨This is a scandal! The government lost thousands of public responses to their railway consultation.

That means that if you want to end the private rolling stock ripoff, or cut fares, or end competition law in the railway, your voice was silenced.

At the Budget, the Chancellor just announced 250 new Neighbourhood Health Centres...

... but didn't mention their decision to use private finance to fund them 🧐

Why? Are they ashamed of their plan to resurrect the corpse of PFI in our NHS? They should be. #AutumnBudget

Rachel Reeves can't "tackle the cost of living crisis" in her budget today without tackling PRIVATISATION

It means YOU pay an extra tax on

- your council tax 🧓🚸
- investment in your public services 🏥🏫

Absolutely disgraceful 👇 - Labour's manifesto promised NHS would be "publicly owned and publicly funded"

Openly now ripping off patients for generations to come

Even the Conservative government said "goodbye to PFI"

Outrageous, unjustifiable, wrong
"Part of this will be capital funding we've allocated into the primary care estate.. & some of it, we're working with the private sector as part of a private sector partnership to fund the rest of them"

Bringing back PFI to our NHS would be harmful to patients.

“Like a family using a payday loan to buy their home, yes, we’d end up with a building, but we’ll have to sacrifice meals to keep up with the payments.”

MPs are against those plans. Time to drop them, Wes Streeting.

🚄Excellent news - the government is freezing rail fares!🚄

Next we need REDUCTIONS as UK rail fares are out of control

But this is a step in the right direction after 30 years of privatisation and a win for public ownership! 🎉🎉🎉
