VOICE OF THE
NHS faces
emergency
TORIES spending a growing fortune of
precious taxpayers’ money on private
ambulances is the Government putting
our NHS up for sale.
Every penny of profit from the £92million
given to firms which, in some cases, aren’t up
to the job should have been invested in care.
Sending commercial ambulances to 999
calls or increasingly using taxis to take patients
to and from hospital is sneaky privatisation.
It comes as no surprise after Boris Johnson’s
Downing Street hitman, Dominic Cummings,
admitted many Tory MPs don’t value the NHS.
We demand a publicly owned and operated
ambulance service is restored to guarantee
high standards which, when sirens are blaring,
might be the difference between life and death.
And we won’t be fooled by Health Secretary
Matt Hancock’s empty talk about holding back
privatisation. The facts say otherwise.
Tin-pot Boris
POLITICALLY illegitimate as a PM who
entered No 10 by the back door, Boris
Johnson is an enemy of democracy.
And packing Parliament with unelected
Tory crony Brexit peers, while sidelining
elected MPs of all parties, would be the
authoritarian arrogance of tin-pot dictator.
Pub bore Tim Martin is a wealthy sycophant
who grumbled about paying his staff the
minimum wage.
He then failed to name a single law initiated
by the European Union that he would scrap,
despite maintaining it was vital Britain left.
He should stand for election if he wants to
be in Westminster, instead of being para-
chuted in to join the ranks of the unelected.
We believe in the sovereignty of Parliament.
But for Johnson that phrase is nothing more
than a cheap slogan he ditched with the truth.
Born again Ben
NATIONAL darling and England cricket
hero Ben Stokes’s love for his family and
their adoration of him are both touching.
After his brush with the law, the way Stokes
has rebuilt his life and career is a reminder why
everyone deserves a sporting second chance.
