Govt's 10 year NHS Plan deepens privatisation.

Govt "will enter discussions enter with private providers".

Pushes PFI. For every £1 investment public purse repays £6 or more. NHS already suffering previous PFI.

Corporate profits guaranteed. We pay more for less.

Say NO to privatisation.

Minister says there will be no compensation for the 1950s born women.

UK state pension age was raised, women weren't properly informed.

Ombudsman found maladministration, recommended govt apology and compensation.

Govt apologised but no compensation.

Politics is not a game. It's people's lives.

The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty.

It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.

Keir Starmer confirms No 10 is offering concessions to Labour welfare rebels..

The only concessions that matter are:
No benefit cuts, must increase real value
Equitable distribution of income/wealth
Curbs on profiteering

Anything less is cosmetic and will prolong harms.

If we get rid of immigrants your Energy bill won't come down, or your Water bill, or your Rent, or your Mortgage, or your Food bill, nor will your wages go up, or your benefits.

But if we get rid of, or at least tax billionaires they all will.

Labour could tax the super-rich to end poverty, build social housing and fix our NHS.

They are choosing to go after the worst-off instead.

For a while, many people didn’t know what this government stood for. They do now: tough choices for the poor, endless money for war.

Why is it that "tough choices" are always about harming the poor and disabled, and never about making the very wealthiest pay their fair share?
