When they are exposed as planning to slash social care for old people, in order to hire their cronies as advisors at £150k a pop, I think people should believe them. ~AA

By keeping hunger strikers in prison WITHOUT TRIAL, it is sentencing them to death.

Farage and Reform will, and have already done, back tracked on NHS privatisation. Claiming they want it kept free at the point of care with no plan, bar scrapping DEI initiatives, denying foreigners treatment, to fund it. They haven't got a clue, as their county council takeovers have demonstrated.
Do any of us know the rough costs of a privatised national health system? Well here are some of the wild costs that you could actually pay if Farage gets his way.
I shit you not, We should all be so grateful for our NHS which under the SNP will always be free.
