After 40 years, privatisation of our public services has failed. It's time for public ownership. We use it, we pay for it, We Own It.

We should be working to retain our NHS staff and attract back those who have left. Scrapping services that currently make working in the NHS tolerable seems purposefully designed to kill the NHS.

Now more than ever we must fight for our NHS.

This is a BRILLIANT policy - buses in public control and public ownership, where they belong 👏👏👏

Thank you Louise Haigh from bus passengers across the country

In 2014 the NHS was the best healthcare system in the world but now government cuts and privatisation are destroying it

Labour MUST promise to invest in NHS staff and beds, not waste that money on risky private sector contracts LabourList

🚍🚍🚍 'Buses are the backbone of our public transport system, but they just aren't sexy enough to command the attention of the nation's press.'

Steve Rotheram writes on how mayors are blazing a trail for Louise Haigh's bold The Labour Party bus reforms:

Private Finance Initiatives have been a rip-off meaning:
❌ Fewer teachers
❌ Fewer nurses
❌ More pollution

This is why it's so important to run public services for people, not profit.

My first appearance in the The Telegraph!

South Yorkshire has seen a 40% decline in bus mileage in the last decade alone.

That’s why we’re working more quickly than anyone to take our buses back under public control.

Louise Haigh making that process quicker and easier for others is great to see 👏

This is absolutely brilliant🎊🎊🎊and well done Louise Haigh. Giving local people the power to run their buses for people, not profit will be life-changing for so many communities.

It is good to see Labour recognise that public services work better when run by and for the public.

Excellent policy from the Labour Party, making it easier to bring buses into public control and PUBLIC OWNERSHIP to benefit passengers 🎉🚌🎉🚌🎉🚌🎉

This is the norm elsewhere in Europe and it works!

Is the government’s strategy for “cutting” waiting lists simply not to count tens of thousands of people on waiting lists? Good spot by PA Media

The real solution if proper investment, better pay for staff and an end to privatisation.

🚨Outsourcing NHS operations to private hospitals has caused deaths.

The real solution to waiting lists is to invest in the NHS and pay NHS staff.

Ask Wes Streeting MP & Victoria Atkins to stop putting patients at risk. Take action: weownit.org.uk/act-now/end-pr…

Our new petition in the Morning Star

Did you watch Panorama this week? Private hospitals run by companies like Spire Healthcare usually lack intensive care facilities

When there are complications, patients die

🚨Reality check for the government and those in other parties who think you can fix waiting lists by handing NHS money over to private hospitals.

Time to get real - here's how you fix waiting lists:

✅Massive investment in NHS
✅Pay staff better
✅End wasteful privatisation

If we're not careful, 'Britain can look forward to a future private, healthcare system that both accumulates data for surveillance purposes, and for sharing with insurance and pharmaceutical companies.'

'Why are you cutting taxes when the health service needs more money? Why are you not even spending on the scale that Margaret Thatcher did?'

Thatcher increased NHS spending by 4%+ /year
This government will increase by less than 1%

Thank you Nick Robinson

FUND OUR NHS

It's not a mystery why NHS waiting lists are so high

The NHS gets £40 billion LESS per year than comparable European countries

If Victoria Atkins wants to reduce waiting lists, she needs to FUND THE NHS (and stop wasting money on privatisation)
