Unless it's purely transactional (equipment, medicines etc) profit and health care services shouldn't mix.
The government admits profiteering is rife in children’s care and social care, yet it still wants private finance back in the NHS. This is an ideology where a few will profit while everyone else pays.

Tonight we have the chance to qualify for our first World Cup since 1998. It could be spectacular.

And every single group game has been shown live on free-to-view TV.

Our national team is for all of us. It should never return to being hidden behind a paywall.

Scotland powers the Union. Literally. Oil. Gas. Wind. All flowing south to keep London’s lights on. Then they tell us we’re ‘subsidised’? That’s not unity. That’s extraction. Scotland has the energy but not the power. Independence means we’ll

We seem to be in a race to the bottom in UK politics right now. Pandering to bigotry and racism. I had a conversation earlier with a Reform voter. He can't see that leaving the EHCR will lose him any of his Human Rights, it's only to stop 'illegal' immigration. Dear lord, it's an uphill battle!
