~60% of health minister Wes Streeting’s donations have been from private health firms.
This is a conflict of interest so big it can be seen from space.
Does Labour not see this?

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

The number of women waiting for gynaecology care in England has more than doubled in the last 5 years.
That’s more than 760,000 people waiting right now.
We must encourage the Government to fix this urgently.

Targets to shift care from #hospitaltohome – and financial drivers behind them - “require bravery and political leadership”, says @sallygainsbury.bsky.social – and politicians need to be clearer on what outcomes should be for patients.

There were so many such tragedies. In 1838, in Silkstone, Yorkshire, 16 children aged from 7 to 16 were killed in a mining disaster, they were all drowned. John Gothard was a distant cousin of mine.
