Sajid Javid has called for patients to pay for GP and A&E visits.
This is what the Conservatives have in store for us all.
We strongly oppose anything that might prevent or dissuade someone from seeking the care they need.
Please RT if you do too.

This just gets worse. The gowns were not packaged in a way that would keep them sterile so were useless. Mone's family made £70M from these deals. Whole idea of a VIP lane for friends of government to get contracts is corrupt. Where are the police? theguardian.com/uk-news/2023…

Unelected prime minister tells elected union leaders that a majority vote is not a good enough mandate for a strike

Pls don’t let the govt gaslight you into thinking it’s ‘normal’ for patients to be dying in their droves at home, in ambulances, in corridors, in cupboards. Excess deaths are 26% higher than usual. This isn’t normal, it’s grotesque.
A humanitarian crisis, yet Sunak does nothing.

They know full well this is unworkable. It's another attempt to find a dividing line. But being prepared to fire nurses is probably not the side of the line you want to be on.

I still can’t quite believe that as we hit 2,500 EXTRA deaths per week - due mainly to insufficient access to basic medical care - that Sunak and his govt have decided to do absolutely NOTHING.
I can’t help feeling that the Conservative Party has no interest in governing the UK, they are AWOL while the country’s infrastructure grumbles after a decade of austerity.
My natural optimism hopes that 2023 will be better than 2022, but my realism suggests that with the Tory non-Government at the helm, everything will continue to deteriorate apace.

Johnson was not betrayed - stabbed in the back - as he would like you to believe.
As Ian Hislop points out, he was STABBED IN THE FRONT BY HIS OWN MINISTERS.
Not because he lied - they didn’t mind that, they cared only about power - but because VOTERS HAD SEEN THROUGH HIS LIES.

I’ve worked in A&E for 22 years & seen nothing like this before.
The NHS is in a critical state. We need urgent action for sake of our staff & patients.
@SteveBarclay @RishiSunak we need you to listen to those who know what’s happening.
To get them to listen, pls retweet

How lucky for Braverman's parents, from Kenya and Mauritius, that there were safe routes for economic migrants when they came to the UK in the 60's, eh ?

The RCN offered to suspend the proposed NHS strike action if Health Secretary Steve Barclay would agree to negotiate properly on pay...
The Government refused.
Now do you see why we are going on strike?

The ‘decade of neglect’ and underfunding that is the cause of the NHS problems. A report commissioned by the Government says it and its predecessors are to blame bit.ly/3VUJUZf

These outrageous reforms to #voterID amount to a Govt laughing in the face of democracy. Voter fraud is close to non-existent - and rather than doing all it can to give a greater voice to the voiceless, this Govt would rather spend £150m of public money on keeping them silent

So. All those dodgy VIP purchases the Tories made in 2020/2021. They were added as a spend on the NHS budget, to make it look like they were spending more money on our National Health Service
GrumpyBob retweeted
The Tories have broken everything.
Their mismanagement, economic incompetence and malice is destroying the most precious things we have and leaving all of us and our families unsafe.
This is ridiculously dangerous, and puts all of us at risk. A disgraceful reflection of Tory handling of the #NHS for more than a decade.

Mick Lynch from the @RMTunion explains that the private Train Operating Companies aren't losing any money during the rail strikes because the Tories are covering all their losses using tax payers cash. Such a crucial point.
