The Govt claimed NHS waiting lists were falling but research and patient stories show many people are being deleted. Even then, the list has risen for the past 2 months. Wes Streeting must deliver real solutions. 🔗 justtreatment.org/news/2025/9/...

With the NHS waiting list figures rising once again and the government being accused of misleadingly deleting people off the list, we share the stories of NHS patients being directly impacted.

MATs are really quite expensive…
In each MAT, the “back office” is replicated. So we have CEOs, CFOs, etc etc all commanding large salaries that eat away at school funds…

Then there is the demand for expensive schemes/programmes of learning…

No surprise at all…

OFWAT probes exec pay at water companies. Yorkshire Water bypassed rules, paid execs through offshore parent company.

Govt was told legislation was weak.

Why was govt/Ofwat not proactive?

End the cat-and-mouse games. Nationalise water. Let customers and employees vote on exec pay.

Crime’s roughly half what it was in the 90s, The Bear points out.

Britain’s still one of the safest countries in the developed world.

So why does Reform want you to think London’s a hellscape?

Because fear is their product – and business is booming.

Reform UK’s “Britain is Lawless” campaign isn’t about making us safer – it’s about manufacturing fear for political gain
