According to our research, between 2023-25 Streeting took £224,575 from sources linked to private healthcare... Well done to @justtreatment.org + their amazing patient leaders for speaking up! 📣
A Health Secretary who won't meet
#NHS patients...but will take £220k+ from private healthcare donors.

So yes - we brought a puppet to Wes Streeting's office to ask the question: who is really pulling Streeting's strings? ⬇️

I can remember when it was a scandal if the 18 weeks wait figure dropped below 95%. It was only about 10-12 years ago.

The collapse in NHS performance under the last government was truly staggering, and went well beyond the pandemic.
New NHS England stats, via NHS Confederation:

"The total waiting list for procedures and appointments has dropped to 7.39 million in September, down from 7.41 million in August.

"The proportion of people waiting less than 18 weeks for care stood at 61.8% in September, up from 61.0% in August."

Unite: “Today’s half a billion-pound profits in just six months for privatised water company United Utilities is yet more evidence that our energy and water systems are broken."

"With overseas shareholders set to receive a record dividend, this is profiteering at the expense of consumers."

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.

And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.

Nigel Farage again today calling for the UK to leave the ECHR

The European Convention on Human Rights PROTECTS US ALL

WE MUST PROTECT IT, NOT LEAVE IT
“The European Convention on Human Rights protects us all. The rights within it are the reason why families devastated by disasters like Hillsborough could demand justice, why victims of abuse can seek safety, & why disabled people are treated with dignity in care

Not great.

Definitely much worse.”

Helen,

You are my MP.

I have heard you say *nothing* about the deliberate starvation of 1.7M people in Gaza.

This is your responsibility - as 1 of only 650 in our sovereign parliament in a country that can and must comat this now.

And you are an MP in the party of power to boot.

Do something.
Ten years ago TODAY voters in Dulwich & West Norwood first elected me to be your MP

It is a privilege every single day to represent our incredible communities in Parliament

Thank you 🙏

I’ll keep speaking up for our values & working for the change we need ❤️🌹

I get told “give Labour a chance!” “Where did you expect them to get us, in ten months?”

If someone is driving in the wrong direction, you point it out before they reach their destination. They have poor plans for the NHS, and are increasing privatisation. I’m not waiting 5 years to talk about it🚨
