On 17/10/23, Health Sec. Wes Streeting was given £39,000 cash by big pharma lobbyist Kevin Craig. Since 2023, Labour cabinet members collectively raked in more than £500,000 from private healthcare companies. Does anyone seriously think those companies don't expect a return on their investment? #NHX
