As a result, migrant communities suffered much higher rates of infection and death.Community groups had to step in, running vaccination clinics so people could get vaccinated safely.This Tuesday, Francesca Humi from @kanlungan_uk gave evidence for the Migrants’ Rights Consortium at the COVID Inquiry, showing how the government’s choices did not just harm migrants - they put everyone in the UK at risk.View all comments

The thing about a Door is that it opens and closes

It the room is too full you need to shut the door

If the room is too small then you need to increase capacity

5 years ago our NHS was the best healthcare system in the world.

Today people are dying on NHS corridors - while Wes Streeting hands more NHS cash to private health companies.

We took action outside Parliament today to demand NHS investment.

NHS doctors hit by £100k student debt Doctors paying 51 per cent marginal tax rates, yet still seeing their debts snowball, have little incentive to do the extra shifts needed to clear waiting lists

It’s taken a while to get the mainstream media to speak up.
The past 2w you can’t get away from it

The Times has quoted me and one of the people I’ve been working with

Medical graduates will likely have to pay £200k out of their salaries. It affects all graduates

“For every transfer of activity to the private sector, you are undermining the public sector…you’re undermining the NHS”

🎯 @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social is spot on.

Invest and build up our NHS so it can treat everyone.

BREAKING: Patients & staff impacted by corridor care join MPs outside Parliament to call for govt to stop this crisis.

Each day in UK hospitals, patients are treated in corridors, waiting rooms, even store cupboards. There are 16,600 AVOIDABLE deaths every year. This must end.

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’

I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

Calls to halt UK Palantir contracts grow amid ‘lack of transparency’ over deals Opposition MPs urge Labour to pause public contracts with the US tech firm after attempts to probe deals blocked Labour should halt public contracts with the US tech company Palantir, opposition politicians have said, amid growing concern at the lack of government transparency over dealings with the company and Peter Mandelson. Since 2023, Palantir has secured more than £500m in contracts with the NHS and the Ministry of Defence, while it employed Global Counsel, the lobbying firm founded by Mandelson. Emails released by the US Department of Justice show Mandelson sought help from Jeffrey Epstein to find “rich individuals” as clients. Continue reading...

it’s exciting for people who care about Westminster chess, that they’ll publish the documents about how Mandelson got appointed, but for people who care about the UK, id like them to publish the full details of the deals he negotiated with the US tech & pharma interests on (supposedly) our behalf
