The only people who benefit from NHS privatisation are the private company shareholders. It’s that simple.

UK MPs accepted £400,000 of hospitality to concerts, sports, other events.
Donors get access, buy influence.
Despite £98,599 pay+exps, too many MPs have 2nd jobs, neglect duty to the people, obey paymasters.
Parties also for sale.

Housing benefits, that go directly to the UK's landlords, will cost £37.3 billion this year.
Why does the government not build the homes and let local councils collect the rent ensuring a recurring income for them and removing profiteering.
Oh I forgot Thatcherite neoliberalism that's why

WE HAVE BEEN TELT Yesterday’s ‘decision’ by Lord Young at the Court of Session to ‘sist’ (postpone) this case until the end of equivalent proceedings in England, effectively means to drop it forever. Under pressure from the UK State, Lord Young changed his earlier decision to grant judicial review!
