😡This must be stopped!

Labour's 2024 manifesto promised our NHS would always be "publicly owned and publicly funded".

Now they are talking about reintroducing PFI into our NHS.

PFI would set a ticking time bomb under our NHS that will blow up in patients' faces - ACT NOW.

Say no to new PFI in our NHS - take action

The government’s new 10-Year Plan for Health is proposing to bring disastrous private finance deals back into our NHS.

Banning refugees – people whose asylum claims have been processed by a hostile system and found to be legitimate – from bringing family members has one predictable and awful effect: instead of travelling alone, men will bring their wives and children on small boats, and some will drown.

Regarding the tragic death of Adam Raine, there are already narratives forming that blame vague "dangers of AI" or a broader moral panic.

But this is not a story about the faceless perils of superintelligence. It's about a $500 billion tech company's core software product encouraging child suicide.
