How long will it take for that population to realise that it faces a constitutional emergency and to act?

We are used to an NHS free at the point of use. But our Health Secretary thinks we should pay for our own families.

And the Health & Care Bill will let him get his way. That would be a disaster for all but the richest.

Luckily, it is not too late to act.

If we had an insurance system like the US, it would be ruinous for many people – in both health and wealth terms.

The government has a Health & Care Bill which would let Javid have his way with the NHS.

In the US, two-thirds of personal bankruptcies are caused by medical bills.

With charges like these, it is not surprising:

Blood test: $100-$300
Giving birth: $9,000-17,000
Breast cancer $15,000-300,000
Etc, etc
(2/6)

In the UK, few people could afford to fund a medical bill of £20,000.

Could you?

The Government’s Health and Care Bill is now in the House of Lords.

If we let it pass without amendment, this could be the UK, too.

But it is not too late. Please read to the end and write to your MP: we have made it easy for you.

The Government’s Health & Care Bill is now in the House of Lords.

If we allow it to pass without amendment, the impact on us all will be grave. But it is not too late to de-fang the Bill.

Please write to your MP: we have made it easy for you (see last Tweet).

The Bill would allow Ministers to migrate our healthcare system to something much more like the US, where you might find yourself having to pay:

Blood test: $100-$300
Giving birth: $9,000-17,000
Breast cancer $15,000-300,000
Etc, etc

The government denies all this. But not very plausibly as the article shows…

This thread looks at the rather dismal list of candidates to succeed Johnson.
(2/9)
Sunak seems to be the ‘favourite,’ but he would be worse than Johnson for several reasons.

First, he played a key role in making sure that our COVID response was among the most damaging – both to health and to the economy – in the world.

(3/9)
Not only did he invent the COVID-enabling ‘Eat out to Help Out’ scheme, he actively involved maverick scientists in order to delay taking action against COVID.

The Conservatives are still repeating the increasingly ludicrous claim that they have been "getting the big calls right."

As this thread shows, nothing could be further from the truth.
(2/10)
The biggest calls have been on the economy, on Brexit, on COVID and on the rule of law.

They have failed on every one.
(3/10)
On Brexit, they chose to pursue a ‘hard Brexit’ against all advice and with no mandate…

Three more reasons to get #JohnsonOut8 as quickly as possible
1. He has absolutely no remorse and genuinely believes he should be considered above the law

ft.com/content/9ca17c…
2. "Johnson is happy to sacrifice anyone – his allies, his compatriots and even his own MPs – in order to further or salvage his own career."
