Yes, Jo, they're coming for the NHS.
Corbyn warned about it.
You called him a Jew-hater.
Didn't you.

My son's an F1, he works so hard & on the side is helping with research to detect heart problems earlier. We have something so special in NHS. The Conservatives want to sell it and make a fortune at the expense of poor people's health

Andrew Cooper #SuburbanElite #ArrestPutin 🇺🇦

@AndrewzCooper

The vultures circle over an NHS laid low by covid, brexit and austerity. They've dreamt of killing this "socialist project" for years. I expect they'll go for two tiers, with better off patients given vouchers/tax rebates to buy private insurance and the rest left to rot.

Mike Parker

@mikeparkerwales

This is exactly what they did to local govt in the first years of Cameron. Endless Mail/Sun/Telegraph stories about fat cats, gold-plated blah etc, faithfully parroted by broadcasters, creates appetite for cuts & privatisation. Worse: creates actual hatred & violence too. 🧵👇🏼

Yep. GPs seems to be the obvious first target. Already semi-privatised they're ripe for a multi tier system being introduced because right now it's pretty much impossible to get an appointment in some areas (like me in Bromsgrove - thanks @sajidjavid health secretary)

So we aren't allowed to critisise the NHS? We have to accept poor service and be grateful because its 'free'? Maybe go listen to the thousands of people who've been failed by the service and get an alternative perspective. It's a monolith that needed reform years ago.

Yep, and we're already deep into the first phase of the plan which is to starve of it of funding, run it in to the ground until it collapses. The second phase is to claim only privatisation can save it. Honestly I think if the Tories win the next election the NHS is doomed.

What the fuck, are the press not allowed to criticise the NHS, largest endpoint of public funds, without it being some kind of tory scam? Each one of these articles points to a specific (and if true, fair) issue with the system.

No doubt at all. It’s been a transparent plan since 2016 - they’ve been “positioning” the NHS to fail so that privatisation and a fire sale of assets on the cheap to their funders and friends can make them all rich(er) and folk who can’t afford insurance, sick or dead.
