Reeves examines using private sector funds to build new towns.
It is PFI renamed as public-private partnerships (PPP).
The state guarantees corporate profits for decades. £1 private investment results in £6 govt repayment.
Cheaper for govt to borrow. It can issue public bonds.

PFI in our NHS was a costly disaster. It funnelled billions away from patient care and into the pockets of private firms.
I've written to the new Health Secretary urging him to ditch Wes Streeting's plan to use private finance schemes to build new neighbourhood health centres.

Disastrous PFI pushed through the Highways (Financing) Bill to “fund large-scale road schemes.”
Previous PFI schemes resulted in £6 repayment for every £1 of private investment. Govt guaranteeing corporate profits
Cheaper alternatives:
Govt borrowing
Public bonds
Tax corporations/rich

The government has some good policies, but not a transformative plan for society.

Approximately 100 NHS hospital projects, the original capital cost was roughly £11.5bn to £12.7bn. These are projected to cost the public purse nearly £80bn by the time they are paid off in 2050—more than six times the build cost.

For people who think Labour is saving the NHS, no it's killing it
In 2019 their members voted unanimously to end Privatisation
Instead it's being increased by £2.5bn a year, the fastest rate ever
Private care is 40% more expensive and worse in every measurement
But... profits

Labour's manifesto promised the NHS would be "publicly owned and publicly funded"
It would be a massive mistake if the government introduces new private finance, breaking their promise and against all the evidence
WELL DONE to the 40 Labour MPs standing up to say NO to new PFI

Wes Streeting wants to introduce more PFI - but obviously not called PFI.
He wants to wrap it up and call it something else:
PPP (Public Private Partnership)

And no to PFI policies dressed up and called by something else.
It’s easy to lose sight of what billions in PFI debt actually cost.
But behind every figure is a nurse working double shifts, a ward left understaffed, a patient waiting longer.
💬 Billions in interest. Staff under pressure. That’s PFI.

💷 In just 5 years, NHS trusts spent £3 billion paying off private finance deals.
60% of that — £1.8 billion — went on interest alone. That’s not investment. It’s extraction.
Our NHS deserves better....

Think PFI is just borrowing to build hospitals? Think again.

💷Our new research shows that in the last 5 years, NHS trusts spent billions through PFI contracts.
💔 Every pound spent on PFI debt is a pound not spent on patient care.
Public money should fund care - not corporate profits.

PFI - you’ve probably heard the term, but what does it really mean for the NHS? 💷
We’ve broken down how PFI were sold as a clever way to fund hospitals… and why they ended up costing the public billions more than they should have.
Keep an eye out… our new research on PFIs is coming soon 👀

The fact that #NHSprivatisation has been slowly happening for decades fools many into denial or thinking it isn't deliberate.
But the Tories outlined the plan to privatise "by stealth" in 1977 (the Ridley Plan) and every govt since has followed that deceitful plan with enthusiasm
