I wonder how many BaNES, Swindon and Wiltshire residents know that a private company, owned by Twenty 20 Capital, "a platform for wealth creation", will be running their community services from April and how it may affect them.

Our breakdown of Wes Streeting’s donors has been doing the rounds online for the last year.

Now we’ve updated it – with another £55,000 from OPD Group, which, in the words of @EveryDoctorUK, “provides services to the NHS [and] is ultimately controlled by Peter Hearn, whose company Odgers Berndtson offers headhunting services to the NHS as well as the private healthcare sector”.

Out of the kindness of their hearts?

New figures show Reform raked in £9m in 3 months, with Farage still in the hotseat for his £5m "gift" from billionaire Chris Harborne.

£4m came from billionaire Ben Delo, who was convicted for facilitating money laundering in the US, but pardoned by Trump.

Nigel Farage registered ‘absent’ from the last 77 votes in Parliament

Official Parliamentary figures reveal that Reform leader Nigel Farage hasn't bothered to vote for anything in the last 11 weeks...

THE WATER RIP-OFF IS NOT ADDING UP.

Barry Gardiner MP has exposed the great trick at the heart of Labour’s position on water.

Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds says bringing water back into public ownership would cost an “enormous amount of money”. But when challenged, her department’s own response admitted it has not assessed the cost of continuing with privatisation against the cost of public ownership.

Read that again.

The Government insists public ownership is too expensive, while refusing to do the maths needed to prove it.

Water is a natural monopoly. People cannot shop around for a better pipe to their home. Yet billpayers are trapped in a system where their money must cover not only clean water, functioning infrastructure and sewage treatment, but the financial interests of private owners, creditors and shareholders.

Public ownership is not some wild luxury. It is common sense. Remove the need to extract profit from an essential service and put billpayers’ money back into pipes, reservoirs, sewage works and lower bills.

The question is no longer whether the privatised water model has failed. We can see and smell that failure in our rivers and on our beaches.

The question is why a Labour Government is defending it without even calculating the public alternative.

Come clean, Secretary of State. Publish the full comparison. Let the public see who this broken system is really serving.

Palantir claims its software saves medics time they can spend on patient care.

But leaked internal NHS documents have revealed that Palantir software is 10 times slower than alternative tool 🐌

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.

Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.

And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇

We're heading for economic meltdown, and Reeves is fiddling with the VAT on museum visits. As exercises akin to rearranging the deckchairs go, this one takes some beating.

A message that part of the UK needs to learn

[Normal Island News @NormalIslandNws]

I don't mean to upset you, but Wes Streeting's leadership challenge is likely to end in crushing humiliation because no one wants him (apart from Palantir). We could be witnessing the end of Wes Streeting's political career 😭😭😭

[Dr Steve Taylor @DrSteveTaylor]

‘Wes Streeting flounced out leaving the health service in a state of mid-reorganisation, mounting workforce problems, financial worries… & some largely fake-news about waiting lists.’

@RoyLilley nails the Streeting NHS legacy

[Mary Whitby 🇵🇸 @19MW98]

Nhs waiting list 7.1m- shameful. It's mostly come down from manipulation, sending people texts asking them to reply to say they still want the appointment. If they don't realise they need to reply they are kicked off. Financial incentives for clinicians to deny access

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

Wes Streeting, the member for Palantir North.

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

If Labour want voters to trust them with the NHS:

- pledge to wind down private contracts

- increase NHS capacity - more beds and more staff

- fund primary care properly

- commit to pay restoration for all NHS and Social care staff

No more backhanded privatisation!

[Cat Hobbs @CatHobbs]

Wes Streeting had a once in a lifetime chance to reinstate the NHS as a FULLY PUBLIC SERVICE

He squandered it, continuing with privatisation

£1.6 billion was wasted on profits in the last 2 years according to @CHPIthinktank - enough to pay for 9,178 doctors or 19,428 nurses

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

Not unacceptable - it is called scrutiny
You don't seem to have any issue when other MPs are hounded on their doorsteps.

Play the victim as much as you like - the public are sick of it. Same goes for the temu Trump attacks on journalists and the ever changing excuses for behaviours to confuse the narrative

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

If evidence was ever needed of a man possessed of ego far exceeding his talent, this resignation letter from @wesstreeting is it.

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

Streeting deleted all his photo's with Mandelson

A shame they exist everywhere.........

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

The abolition of NHS England is a quiet admission that the neoliberal restructuring of the NHS failed. Fragmentation and marketisation created bureaucracy, not efficiency. And yet, ministers are still avoiding the real issue, which is that public services cannot function after years of underinvestment.
