The petition to join the European Union has reached 25,000 signatures in under 9 days!
https://t.co/JOiUMfWSpr
Which means it's already a quarter of the way to the 100,000 signatures to be considered for debate in Parliament.
Time to add your name. Then share widely!
The Lie - The ECHR is a foreign court.
The Truth - The ECHR is a document that the UK wrote and signed after WW2 to prevent Genocide, Slavery and Fascism in Europe.
You should suspect that the people who want to undo it want those very things.
It certainly looks like it.
Of course the real threat isn't Asylum Seekers in Dinghies.
It is the people who want to leave the ECHR and take away all your Rights.
Right to trial, right to healthcare, right to sick pay, right to holiday pay, right not be discriminated against.
They can make so much profit
It’s no secret what the NHS needs:
- increase bed capacity by 20,000
- increase primary care capacity by 50%
Total cost = ~£12b
Total amount the private sector took out of the NHS last year = £12b
Yes, it’s a political choice!
As Farage reveals his desire to shut the NHS down for good and switch to a private model, I thought it useful to counter his disinformation with some actual truth about health care models.
The thing about Private Healthcare is that even if they decided not to make a single penny of profit.
The cost of employing tens or hundreds of thousands of people, to sell, check, advertise, regulate, underwrite, legalise and enforce it would cost tens of billions a year.

NEW: A study has found that hospitals that are privatised typically deliver worse quality care after converting from public ownership.
Researchers analysed 13 long-term studies from different high-income countries such as England, Germany, South Korea and the USA.

Last year, China installed more solar panels than the U.S. did in the last 20 years. China’s total installed solar energy capacity is now 600 GW.
There is no time to waste. Time to dump fossil fuels and embrace the renewable revolution.
#ActOnClimate
We have debated water company scams and their pollution of our beautiful natural spaces, streams, rivers, and beaches SO many times that I can't bear the limp excuses any more. Water privatisation has failed. #RenationaliseWaterNow!
It doesn't take genius guess the Tory plan. Starve our NHS of money for 13 years until there are SEVEN MILLION people on waiting lists, then say "Hey, look, the NHS is failing. We need to privatise it."
Our NHS is not failing.
It is BEING FAILED by the Conservatives.
The UK Government is trying to hang this portrait of King Charles in every public building including schools.
The SNP rejected it and saved £8m that they can actually spend on education.
If you want it out of our schools RT.
Junior Doctors are striking for the 10th time.
If you would sacrifice a 1/5th of the Bankers Tax cut to pay them Like.
If you would sacrifice it all and pay all NHS staff and many more Public Sector workers with it RT
Reminder:
Immigration is NOT the reason that you CANT get a hospital appointment
Immigration is THE ONLY reason that you CAN get a hospital appointment
An NHS is only surviving on immigrant doctors, nurses & support staff
If you want to blame someone, think who’s in power….
Our government is essentially unpoliced.
It requires journalists and people like Carol Vorderman to flag up the ministerial code breaking and law-breaking because in our democracy politicians police themselves and rarely hold each other to account.
This corruption has to change
Rishi Sunak decided that the £14.9bn of PPE fraud cannot be investigated and wrote it all off.
This is fraud, theft, corruption on a ridiculous scale.
RT if you think Treason charges for all those in involved need to be brought including those who cover it up.
#BREATHTAKING
£10b wasted on govt PPE contracts
That’s the entire budget of primary care in England
It’s enough to solve the doctors and nurses strike and increase NHS beds by 15,000
And the kicker, this £10b was added to NHS accounts before being paid out - “record funding”
Unforgivable!
