Hospitals in England could shed 100,000 jobs.
No impact assessment produced.
A Wes Streeting recipe for privatisation dressed up as efficiency drive.
NHS will be a shell doling out contracts to the private sector. 30% -40% of money will vanish in profits. Money will buy less.
Must resist.

Thames Water names US private equity (PE) group KKR as preferred bidder.
Worst possible outcome. Water industry woes started with PE.
PE business model: profiteering, asset-stripping, low investment, staff/wage cuts, tax dodging.
Govt must reject PE takeover. Must nationalise.

UK govt must reverse benefit cuts for the disabled/poor.
3m families to lose £1,720 a year in real terms.
OBR says people receiving disability benefits generally have limited capability for work. It couldn't corroborate govt claim that work is available.
There are alternatives to the govt policy.

NO cruel cuts to benefits
The Government is planning “catastrophic” cuts that experts say will force disabled people into poverty. Don’t think that’s right? Add your name now.

My suggestions to the UK govt for rejuvenating economy.
Must boost purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the population, cut taxes for the poor, eliminate tax perks of the rich.
The Minister did not respond. Will the Chancellor change policy?
Pls watch the video.

Since privatisation, water companies have racked up massive debts while paying out huge sums to shareholders – and the public pay the price

It's time to take our water back
Privatised water represents the most unholy of business models – all the while, bills go up, and sewage spews into our rivers and seas.
