We hope we made you proud ❤️
Thirteen years in power and they've managed to take the NHS from independently ranked the best in the world, to this. What an act of state vandalism.
500 avoidable deaths every single week. I'd say govt should be ashamed, but that would suppose that they actually give a toss.
In 2023 we achieved:
a flat-lining economy, record NHS waiting lists, biggest tax burden since the War, highest ever national debt, huge energy bills, largest fall in living standards on record, rivers full of shit... but I'm sure we can do even more in 2024.
Happy New Year!
"It was only when I looked at the OECD's Gini coefficient of income inequality that I saw it hadn’t moved by more than 1 per cent in any year for 20 years. We were more unequal than any other country in Western Europe."

You know who’s responsible for the NHS in England’s 7.7 million RTT backlog; massive and un-counted non-RTT backlog; staff retention crisis; problematic bullying culture; lack of safety culture; £10bn capital and maintenance backlog; 40 New (If Fictional) Hospitals Programme?
The Prime Minister @10DowningStreet said today "We were making very good progress before industrial action"
Waiting lists are a #PoliticalCHOICE
RT if you think this 👇was NOT "good progress" before IA & govmnt needs to change course #PayRestoration

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Rishi Sunak is funneling thousands of NHS patients into private hospitals but are they safe? The Sunday Times has learned of hundreds of cases of unnecessary surgery. 🧵 1/9 https://t.co/0mZ9Ao7blh
Loneliness doesn't only hurt mental health. It's also a risk factor for physical health.
90 studies, 2.2M people: loneliness and social isolation predict mortality from cancer and all causes, even after controlling for health conditions.
Human connection is vital to well-being.
NEW: we need to talk about the dire state of British transport infrastructure.
Of the 52 UK cities with 250k+ people, only 8 (15%) have a tram or metro.
In France & Germany it’s 80%, Poland is on 60%.
Even *American* cities are better served, and the US hates public transit!
Speaking on the BBC R4 Today programme, health secretary Steve Barclay claimed NHS consultants receive tax-free pensions.
This is incorrect. Pensions for consultants are subject to the same tax rules that apply to all pensioners.

Dear 🇬🇧,
As we approach the NHS 75th anniversary, here's your reminder that 10 years ago, it was ranked the #1 healthcare system on Earth. You don't need a new system. You need a new govt that won't intentionally destroy it for their own financial benefit.
