A graphic by EveryDoctor titled “The Price of Privatisation” shows NHS trust spending over the last five years. A pie chart illustrates £3 billion total spending, with £1.8 billion (60%) on interest and £1.2 billion (40%) on debt. Text below reads, “That’s not investment — it’s extraction.”

💷 In just 5 years, NHS trusts spent £3 billion paying off private finance deals.

60% of that — £1.8 billion — went on interest alone. That’s not investment. It’s extraction.

Our NHS deserves better....

Nigel Farage got £750,000 from Coutts as compensation for nothing.

Even worse Coutts is owned by NatWest which is 39% owned by you.

So YOU paid Nigel Farage £292,750, for whining because he didn't have enough money for an account.

RT if he needs to repay every penny.

The DWP counts on us giving up.
At Mandatory Reconsideration (stage 1), only 27% of PIP decisions are overturned. At Tribunal (stage 2), it’s 62–80%. External panels + oral evidence expose the system’s failures — but the stress understandably breaks people before they get there.

Just watched @labourlewis.bsky.social's powerful speech on his Water Bill, raising the fundamental question that’s been ignored for too long: who should own our water?

It’s time to bring water back into public hands.

The upcoming budget appears to have cuts to Public Spending and to Benefits.

But there is loads of money available from getting rid of Brexit or taxing the rich instead.

Increasing your Water Bills 44% ABOVE inflation in the next 5 years isn't enough for the Water Companies, they have appealed to Ofwat to let them increase them up to 83% ABOVE inflation.

Like if they can get stuffed.

Outrage as Thames Water secures £3bn bailout after 'disgraceful' court ruling Thames Water has won court approval to secure an emergency £3bn bailout – a decision slammed as a mere “stay of execution” for the company.

Thames water shouldn't be getting bailouts and it shouldn't be hiking bills.

It should be nationalised.

The Government plan is to temporarily renationalise Thames Water, for you to pay off its debts, and then to let someone else takeover so they can rob you, build up massive debts and do the same all over again.

NO water should be NATIONALISED.
