More evidence of Private Equity disaster in US healthcare

PE bought hospitals, GP practices, nursing homes.

Cut wages, staff, investment, care; load with debt; extract profits; deaths, injuries rise.

Why is UK govt handing healthcare to PE/corporations?

Say NO to privatisation of the NHS.

Nigel Farage's attendance record as an MEP was 748 out of 751, yet he turned up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian disinformation. Now one of his MEPs has admitted taking bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Why is this not all over the media?

Farage squirms as Rep. Jamie Raskin obliterates the "Putin-loving, free speech imposter, Trump sycophant".

Let's keep on sharing this. It's what Farage deserves.

Why are our hapless British politicians incapable of making such a speech? And why does our news media hide these truths?

On Elon Muskโ€™s address to the Tommy Robinson march today, Lib Dem leader Ed Davey said:

โ€œOur democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons.

โ€œMusk doesnโ€™t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.โ€

Farage is saying it AGAIN.

GP's do not diagnose anyone as Autistic.

Farage is claiming that one single GP visit can get you a diagnosis, he is LYING!

Last November, Farage proudly stated "I have bought a house in Clacton."

It turns out this wasn't true.

Farage on ITV News saying there are too many people young ppl on disabilities. โ€œYour own GP is pressurised to put people on the disability registerโ€. What register? There is no register. Benefits are awarded by the DWP after a harsh assessment by their own contractors. Your GP has no say.

Rayner was careless about her stamp duty liability in Brighton and paid the political price for lack of due diligence. Farage - as is now on the public record - lied about his stamp duty situation in Clacton yet carries on regardless.

In countries using proportional representation, parties are incentivised to work together collaboratively. They keep the 80% that works and try to fix the 20% that doesn't.

With FPTP, parties scrap it altogether and take years to implement a new process with lots of flaws.

A party that wants to govern is proudly parading a woman who demanded buildings full of people be burnt down, platforming an imbecile who thinks vaccines caused cancer in the royals, and parading a โ€˜star line-upโ€™ of weirdos who canโ€™t even sing the national anthem.

"Nigel Farage has admitted he misspoke when he claimed to have bought a house in his constituency of Clacton, saying the property is in fact solely owned by his long-term partner."

What he meant to say is that he lied.

Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings Exclusive: Reform leaderโ€™s use of personal services firm is a practice criticised across the political spectrum

Angela Rayner resigns after accidentally paying the wrong amount of stamp duty.

Farage deliberately avoids stamp duty by putting his constituency home in his partner's name.

Also avoids full tax on his GBNews earnings...
