The NHS has problems because since the 1980s it has been slowly privatised.

Margaret Thatcher outsourced catering, cleaning and many other services

Labour and the Conservatives PFI schemes forced them to sell hospitals and rent them back.

It costs of tens of billions a year.

This video is completely correct.

£3bn a year has been taken from the NHS to give to US billionaires because Donald Trump demanded it, in return we get nothing.

And MPs don't even get a vote on it.

Ah yes, I well remember our hard work on behalf of the fishing industry. Out of 42 Fisheries meetings while I was an MEP I could only be arsed to attend 1. Then we screwed the whole fishing industry with Brexit, so well done us.

Scotland, remember what happened in US when 44% of population didn’t bother to turn up to vote.
22% turnout in Scotland got this #Reform candidate elected.
If you don’t want Reform….you’ve got to get out & VOTE

Three weeks without a Reform representative on Laura Kuenssberg! Anyone would think we were avoiding questions about election fraud, MEPs taking Russian bribes, me being a racist bully at school, Reform officials calling LBGT people nonces or my dodgy house purchase.

As we hear about yet another mass shooting in the US, it's worth remembering that I described the UK ban on handguns as "ludicrous" and said our gun laws were "repressive".

A lifetime of "thoughts & prayers" have done JACK-SQUAT to reduce or eliminate gun violence. We need to do MORE.

Even in platforming our success - there's still more spin.

We're not backing "small boat migrants."

We're backing people - including people who are in desperate circumstances.

GB News grilled me apparently?

Only problem with this is I've never been on their nonsense channel.

They lie - obsessively.

Reform UK councillor slapped with a £40,000 fine for hiring an illegal worker. 🤔

So much for "taking back control", apparently the rule is: deport them… but only after we’ve squeezed some cheap labour out of them.

A masterclass in hypocrisy!

Farage is in the mud again: police reports over £9k dodgy spending - a refurbished HQ he “forgot” to declare, an armoured Land Rover shoved into “national” costs, and missing receipts everywhere. Add it to the pile: Russian cash, extremist bile, antisemitic bullying - now alleged fraud too.

Until we hit the public chargers in the UK sadly. Average per kWh in the UK is 65p, I’d bet 40c in Germany? It’s around 35c in France, 40c in Spain.
