OK, listen up, please? 😊 Here follows a thread - please read all of it. (1/11)

You are all aware that I, and others, have been stewarding this:

#ScrapNHSBill

Petition: Protect the #NHS , Press Pause on the White Paper for Health and Social care:

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5810…

So, we got to the 10,000 eventually, which forces a response from the Government.

The response was puerile, facile and lied as well, particularly about the so-called "consultation". 😒

So we pressed on. (2/11)

In the meantime, various other similar campaigns were gathering momentum: (3/11)

Health Secretary Sajid Javid: Protect the NHS: Stop the health and care bill - Sign the Petition! chng.it/4qqxySFP via @UKChange

Also, about a month ago, @JujuliaGrace and @EveryDoctorUK mounted their excellent campaign.

All of these are crucial, but only the Parliamentary Petition is ON THE RECORD. Please bear this in mind, for future campaigns. (4/11)

This morning, I & all the other signatories of the Parliamentary Petition received, before our 100,000 mark has been reached, news that MPs will indeed debate this ghastly legislation in Westminster Hall, to be led by @RichardBurgon , "On the future of the NHS". (8/11)

It is therefore vital that we now turn up the pressure on ALL MPs, just to attend this debate.

I cannot stress this enough. (9/11)
