162 MPs have accepted a combined £2.9M linked to the private healthcare sector.
While the NHS is pushed to its breaking point, we want to dig deeper to find out exactly what that money is buying.
You deserves to know the truth. Help us fund our next investigation: link in bio.
If they wanted to clean up these processes they would have abolished the House of Lords.
Much of this bleeding dry of our NHS is down to the Blair appointed Lord Carter of Coles, who went on to become a consultant for the Tories. He oversaw the privatisation of pathology services and is now chairman of HSL. His recommendations are now been rolled out throughout our NHS.
Corporate capture of the state kills.
Inquiry into the Grenfell fire found dishonesty, false claims about safety of building materials, regulatory collusion.
72 people died. No one prosecuted. Companies still get public contracts.
Govts push deregulation.
Working class lives don't matter do they
Sodium batteries are available in the UK. They are bulkier than Lithium but work better at lower temperatures so OK to go outside in the UK. www.elevenenergy.co.uk
BREAKING: We’re taking the government to court over Palantir.
The government is refusing to hand over important briefings given to Wes Streeting about the £330m NHS data contract with Peter Thiel’s surveillance firm
So we’re taking legal action.

Jeez. Labour MP’s have just voted to give police unprecedented powers to ban recurring protests turning a fundamental freedom into a privilege granted by the state.
No protest movement has ever brought about change through one single march or action. How did it come to this?
I am so sick of seeing politicians weaponise NHS problems. The reason the NHS isn’t working well is because of what politicians have done. They then give soundbites to the media attacking staff and pointing fingers at healthcare workers.
It’s grotesque.
We at @goodlawproject.org are optimistic:
"We have killed the Code of Practice in its dreadful, original form. Thanks to our work that Code will never see the light of day. There is a whole new fight to come but we created a lot more room for manoeuvre than we thought was realistically possible..."

Oh, FGS -
@politico.com is taking sponsorship money from Palantir - running their ads through news updates.
That's absolutely the *last* thing we need in our politics, Palantir going straight for the political-media environment at a time when we need massive scrutiny of their contracts in the UK.
Not just Palantir, other ‘age verification’ companies like Persona are also linked to Thiel & co.

Don’t you hate predictive text.
I am well aware, I am a retired microbiologist. I went from walking 3 miles to and from work to not being able to make it up a flight of stairs. I had COVID for the first time last July, it was rough but not as bad as after the AZ. I would happily have Novovax if it were available.
If there was an option to have a conventional vaccine like Novovax in the UK I would have it, but after developing myocarditis after my Astro-Zenica booster, won’t be taking anymore RNA vaccines.
Private firms got £12bn NHS contracts.
Private equity, offshore tax haven firms big winners. Donations to Ministers pay dividends.
£1.6bn profit in 2 yrs. Enough to pay for 9,178 doctors or 19,428 nurses
Health service “taken for a ride”.
Say NO to privatisation. Must expand NHS capacity
I agree, I try to call it out every time “Boomers” are blamed. There are a large proportion of us older folk who never wanted this and have been campaigning all our lives against this rampant capitalism. They don’t realise is that they have fallen into the right wing media trap of divide & conquer.
There are protests taking place across the country in the coming days and weeks in response to yesterday's Supreme Court ruling
Drop me a message with any I'm missing and I will add details of each to the thread below:
Great Britain threw away 5GW of wind power during Storm Dave & replaced it using gas 🔥
That's one and a half Sizewell C-sized nuclear power stations, or four Dogger Bank A-sized wind farms.
Or to put it another way, it's a shit load of power.
Why throw it away? Because our straw isn't big enough…
We live in the age of unenlightenment.
I really don’t care (about Melania) do you?
Al Jazeera and France24 for me, haven’t watch the BBC for years, it’s even worse in Scotland.
Don’t forget the NHS internal market.
Created by Thatcher
Made law by Major.
Implemented by Blair & Brown with added PFI.
Put on steroids by the Tories.
Now huge chunks of the NHS are privatised and hiding behind the NHS logo.
You still supporting Labour?
Multinational asset manager BlackRock wants to work with the Greater Manchester Pension Fund to buy up NHS GP surgeries.
Our NHS is not for sale - Cllr Eleanor Wills, leader of @tamesidecouncil.bsky.social (which runs GMPF) must drop this deal NOW.

Imagine OFWAT giving Thames Water a hall pass to do it without fines until 2030. MADNESS!!!
Why wouldn't other water companies want to be allowed to do the same?
Ask your MP to sign on to this MPs' letter to Emma Reynolds, demanding she block this disastrous deal. vist.ly/4x36y
