Health Secretary Wes Streeting has received £311,400 from private healthcare interests since entering Parliament.
Could that be reason he's such a fan of private involvement in our health service?
The Green Party is clear - private profit motive should be nowhere near the NHS.
In 2024 it took…
24,000 votes to elect one Labour MP
49,000 votes for one Lib Dem MP
56,000 votes for one Tory MP
485,000 votes for one Green MP
and 823,000 votes for one Reform MP.
Wherever you live and whoever you support, we believe all votes should be equal. Do you agree?
"You're taking some of the most disadvantaged people in our society and making them pay."
@natalieben on the Government's plans for yet more cuts and the need to tax wealth properly instead.
UK economy contracted by 0.1% in January.
Can't build sustainable economy without improving the purchasing power of the bottom 50%.
Need redistribution of wealth; not more austerity, real wage cuts, erosion of welfare & services.
Abandon neoliberalism.

@Keir_Starmer Then stop HOL leeches from milking the system, you know this isn't working but turn a blind eye. Another example of being afraid to stop the wealthy fleecing is.
Starmer and Reeves should stop HOL, they are leeches on benefits, sucking millions each year from us. Each and every one of them should be reassessed as to their benefit to our system. If the welfare system is to be reformed then this should be the starting point NOT disability.
Peers working for City firms dominate Lords panel scrutinising financial sector.
UK parliament is cesspit of corruption. Parties/Legislators available for hire.
To get govt for the people must end political donations, consultancies for legislators.

Highly paid FT editors advise UK govt to cut welfare spending; hurt the disabled, sick. poor, old.
Silence on redistribution of wealth; higher wages, reducing corporate welfare, ending tax perks of the rich
It is class war.

SpaceX has postponed the mission to bring stranded astronauts home, is it not time MUSK used all and any resources to bring them home, to be reunited with their families. If he put as much effort into this as he has with his skewed political ideas they would be back immediately
Why is Starmer & co targeting OAPs, disabled and families in poverty? Surely he should be aiming for millionaires, billionaires and profiteers, or is it just easier to choose the most vulnerable. Shame on him.
Legislators for hire
Nearly 100 members of the UK House of Lords give political/policy advice for money.
Multiple peers paid by foreign govts and repressive regimes.
Parliament is a cesspit of corruption, too many enrich themselves.
Need a clean-up.

Are farmers allowed to use duty free red diesel when driving to and from these protests or do the fill up at the local garage first? Do these journeys count as ‘purposes relating to agriculture’, perhaps ‘events which provide information and education that benefit agriculture’ https://t.co/Y6tQzEa9GU
