Absolutely disgraceful 👇 - Labour's manifesto promised NHS would be "publicly owned and publicly funded"

Openly now ripping off patients for generations to come

Even the Conservative government said "goodbye to PFI"

Outrageous, unjustifiable, wrong

PFI (Private Finance Initiative) has been rebranded with fancy names:

🖌️PF2
🖌️LIFT
🖌️Scottish NPD
🖌️Welsh MIM

But it's the same old payday loan deal which hurts patients

Read our briefing, tell your MP it's the last thing our NHS needs at the budget👇

This Budget move could put £1,800 in every worker's pocket, according to economists A new report suggests that putting more money into public investment would boost growth and average earnings over the next decade

Ramping up public investment is the best route out of the UK’s productivity crisis.

Our new report finds increasing public investment by an additional 2% of GDP per year would kickstart growth, raise average earnings, and strengthen the public finances.

Labour's manifesto promised the NHS would be "publicly owned and publicly funded"

It would be a massive mistake if the government introduces new private finance, breaking their promise and against all the evidence

WELL DONE to the 40 Labour MPs standing up to say NO to new PFI

Bringing back PFI to our NHS would be harmful to patients.

“Like a family using a payday loan to buy their home, yes, we’d end up with a building, but we’ll have to sacrifice meals to keep up with the payments.”

MPs are against those plans. Time to drop them, Wes Streeting.

Tony O'Sullivan has a stark message for Wes Streeting.

Bringing back private finance into the NHS is a betrayal of your principles.

Rail fares to be frozen in England next year - BBC News Regulated fares, which include season tickets and off-peak returns, will not see annual price rises for the first time in 30 years, the government announces.

Next we need REDUCTIONS as UK rail fares are out of control

But this is a step in the right direction after 30 years of privatisation and a win for public ownership! 🎉🎉🎉

Protesters, one holding up a T-Shirt that says "Tax Rich, end austerity measures", another with a printed placard that says Essex NHS, 27x over a picture of an NHS hospital.

Protesters in a line holding a banner that says "Patients before profit. No new PFI in our NHS".

Two protesters holding a home-made sign that says No More Profit Filching Invaders in our NHS.

A group of protesters squatting and standing. They are all holding printed placards showing different NHS Trust hospitals, all of which have been built using private finance. The placards show the multiplier each NHS Trust is liable to, in order to pay off their debt (eg 27* the original amount, 13* the original amount, and so on).

Thanks to our brilliant supporters who turned up in the cold to protest outside the DHSC building today.

Like the 17,000+ people who signed our petition, they don't want the NHS burdened with decades of debt.

The message is clear: Rachel Reeves, Wes Streeting, no new private finance in our NHS!
