    Save The NHS! I’m asking the govt in the House of Lords on Wednesday what plans they have to stop American Health Insurance companies buying NHS surgeries. Watch this space!

    Last night the House of Lords did a power of good, cancelling the most draconian clauses of the Police Bill and safeguarding our right to protest. Bravo!

    The more I read about Govt plans to let the American company Centene buy up the NHS the more outraged I am! No one voted for this: it’s coming in on the sly. But not too late to resist!!

    Bumpy flight landing at Gatwick this morning: a young passenger piped up : “when you walk through a storm… hold your head up high”. All the passengers joined in! The plane Landed safely…. to general applause

    Tomorrow, Monday, a patient-power letter goes to Matt Hancock protesting the take over of NHS surgeries by Centene... a profit-driven American health company. If you don’t want your NHS run by America, Speak Out Now! You could be next!

    Tonight’s Panorama exposes the way our NHS has been infiltrated by mega USA health company, Centene, running our surgeries for profit. This should be stopped!
