Starmer deepens NHS privatisation.
Can increase NHS capacity by buying private hospitals.
Plan won't generate new health staff. Private sector will poach NHS staff.
NHS to be a shell, doling out contracts to private sector. 30%-40% money will vanish in profits.

.This is very good 👇 Streeting in a nutshell
Has Wes Streeting got the ability to be our Health Secretary? youtu.be/vBEqa6H6Nis?... Wes Streeting has made clear that no real action on social care will be taken before 2028. Is that because he just hasn’t got the ability to think about issues this big?

Exactly this 👇
Taxpayers can't fund payouts for Waspi women, Starmer says.
Nonsense. Payment can be phased.
Govts that fund wars; bailout banks & energy companies; hand £895bn QE to speculators, subsidies to oil, gas, biomass, auto, steel, microchip & others can also fund justice.

A very high proportion of pensioners ALWAYS vote. A higher proportion of women than men (used to) vote LABOUR
In July Lab achieved one of the lowest votes ever. So where are their votes coming from next time?

.It's cruel and unnecessary & shows exactly his priorities. No wonder Tory shadow minister Kevin Hollinrake saud this morning that he supported Labour's approach ..
Starmer to target 'welfare cheats.'
He doesn't prioritise tax avoidance and evasion.
He chooses the right wing Daily Mail to push his Benefit Street agenda.
He removes restrictions from the bankers who crashed the economy in 2008 and encourages risk-taking.
Tory instincts.
