VICTORY FOR OUR NHS!š
I am delighted to report that the NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board took the decision today not to renew the contract of US healthcare giant Centene (Operose Health) to run Hanley Primary Care Centre in Islington - a huge win for local people
I am delighted to report that the NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board took the decision today not to renew the contract of US healthcare giant Centene (Operose Health) to run Hanley Primary Care Centre in Islington - a huge win for local people
But there's more for us to do!
The contract will now go out to tender, and Centene are free to make a fresh bid to run the service. We'll continue our campaign for an NHS in the hands of local patients - not US for-profit healthcare giants.

I was proud to speak at today's ICB meeting and want to pay tribute to everyone who has stood up for our NHS over the course of this long campaign

1) At a US Trade Representative hearing on negotiating priorities for a US-UK trade agreement, the largest US drug industry group expressed strong criticisms of the UKās pharmaceutical price negotiation system. #NHS #NHSPrivatisation #nhsnotforsale

2) It claimed that āthe UK operates a health technology assessment system that significantly undervalues innovative medicinesā and argued that US-UK trade agreement negotiations āprovide an important opportunityā #NHS #NHSPrivatisation 
3) to ensure that government reimbursement systems provide āfull market access for US products, which includes the setting of reimbursement amount on competitive market-derived pricing,or an equivalent process.ā #NHS #NHSPrivatisation
[Thread] 1/ the copy and paste pro-Tory NHS brigade seem to be back. There's a new copy and paste status going round denouncing those who blame NHS troubles on those 'abusing' it. It's on Facebook and Twitter, not quite sure about the scale of it yet but see screenshots below
2/ You can see even from a cursory glance that the Facebook statuses are being shared extensively. It is interesting that this viral method of copy and pasting seems to be reserved mostly for pro-Conservative NHS related posts. This one is obviously paving the way for lowering
The NHS was a huge issue in #GE2019, at times and in certain parts of the UK a bigger issue even than Brexit, and it should have represented an open goal for Labour, the party of the NHS. Yet, for me, the central campaign message of #NHSNotForSale just didnāt connect with voters.
For instance, I spoke to a bloke in his 70s, an ex-factory worker whoād voted Tory since Thatcher but heād been following the election and reckoned that Corbyn was ātalking a lot of senseā. But he asked me to explain if the NHS is really up for sale as he didnāt get the argument
Whilst I, an NHS worker, understand where #NHSNotForSale comes from, for many it probably sounds like nonsense. A completely abstract concept. I mean is Johnson really going to go to Trump and say āhereās the NHS mate, how much will you give me for it?ā No, he isnāt.

Elizabeth has witnessed the difference between the UK and US health systems. She knows the human cost of high prices. Donāt allow the US to sabotage access to meds on the #NHS.
EPIC THREAD!!!...

There has been a lot of debate on the impact of a #tradedeal with #Trump on #NHS medicine prices. Hereās a thread detailing why people are right to be worriedā¦ 1/
Firstly, the US has history. #Bigpharma spends more influencing politicians in Washington than any other industry. So the US has repeatedly used #trade agreements to force changes on countries that will boost the industryās profits. 2/

Comparing Tower Hamlets CCG budgets there is an estimated annual underfunding of Ā£270 million by 2023. That is the equivalent of 7500 nurses, or 2200 GPs, or 150 GP surgeries. #SaveOurNHS #NHSCuts

Labour will
ā Reverse cuts & ensure adequate funding to the NHS, ending & reversing creeping privatisation.
ā Repeal the Health and Social Care Act
ā Ensure our NHS is never on the table in any future trade deals.

The Tories will always claim #NHSNotforSale but their politics and policies reveal the truth. A systematic fragmentation and privatisation of our service, against the will of the people. Don't #BackBoris or #VoteConservative unless you understand "privatisation by stealth" š§µ1/15
"Privatisation by stealth" is intentionally opaque because the Tories know they can't win votes while admitting the privatisation agenda. This agenda is set out in Conservative MP Oliver Letwin's paper "Britain's Biggest Enterprise ideas for radical reform of the NHS" 2/15
The document I reference is here: cps.org.uk/files/reports/ā¦
The title itself should ring alarm bells, most British people do not see healthcare as an enterprise but as a public system, we proudly contribute to provide a safety net for sick when they need it most. 3/15

In the 1990's this man below, Liam Fox was sacked by the Conservative Party
At the time he was sacked he ran a think tank called #AtlanticBridge.
The documents revealed by Jeremy Corbyn today have been 20 years in the making.

Trump has promised his American voters, who he needs to elect him next year, that he will make our NHS pay more for its medicines.
Do you really think that after damaging trade with the Europe, we'll say no to America too? WHERE'S LEFT!?!

How many of our red lines did we cross in the EU negotiations?
Johnson once said that no UK prime minister should ever sign a deal like the one he JUST SIGNED.
You really think he'll say no to Trump when Brexit makes us even more desperate?

Anyone who still believes Boris Johnson when it comes to the NHS after he admitted DURING THE REFERENDUM, that the Ā£350M he promised would go to it was a lie...
(He cited Ā£10Bn/yr which =192M/week)
...Your intelligence will be questioned.

They sold off our water.
They sold off our energy.
They sold off our railways.
They sold off our buses.
They sold off our oil.
They sold off our gas.
They're selling off our schools.
And they won't bat an eye at selling off our NHS.
Fight for it. Vote Labour on December 12.

They strip our national assets, then siphon off the profits to shareholders and chief executives.
They dismantle our social fabric, then consign our class to a life on the scrapheap.
It's about time we elect a government that looks after people, not profit.

Trump is now telling British voters (who he needs to support Brexit so he can do a UK deal) that he's not after our NHS.
But he's telling his own voters (who he needs to elect him next year) he'll make our NHS pay more for medicines.

Honestly if you think Mr America First, whose inaugural speech was a promise that he'd make the US come out on top in every trade deal, is going to put UK interests first when Brexit makes us vulnerably desperate for a trade deal....
I think I feel sorry for you.
