Just thought I’d post some screenshots showing Wes Streeting’s links to individuals and orgs associated with private healthcare.

EveryDoctor built a map- it hasn’t been updated recently… perhaps we should do that?

Why are physician associates being paid more than many junior doctors?

Because politicians are corporatising and privatising our public healthcare system. In the short term, they are creating conditions to enable the deskilling of our NHS workforce. They are doing this by…

1. Failing to train enough doctors.
2. Failing to retain enough doctors.
3. Squeezing the pay of doctors.
4. Eroding working conditions generally, encouraging a mass exodus.
5. Making it nearly impossible to whistleblow safely.
6. Recruiting lower-skilled staff en …
…masse, and paying them better (most likely in the short term).
7. Restricting patient access to senior medical decision-makers.
8. Turning the role of a senior doctor into a supervisor of lower skilled workers, instead of an expert delivering patient care.

This;
Reduces…

Bizarre messages from people either saying “we can only choose between Labour and the Tories” or “it’ll be your fault now when the Tories get in”.

1. We are meant to live in a functioning democracy. If that is the case, it cannot also be true that our only two options as a …
…society are two neoliberal candidates who stand a hair’s breadth apart politically.

2. The way we create change as a society is by pushing for better, holding politicians to account, and forcing progress. It is madness to suggest that creating a massive majority for …
…one candidate (who is abandoning progressive policies right left and centre before he’s even power) is going to create meaningful change.

3. It is the job of politicians to prove to us what they offer, and win our approval. It is not the job of campaigners like me to usher…

Thread! 🧵

The NHS is being systemically dismantled by politicians, and we need to do something about it.

When I set up EveryDoctor, we didn’t anticipate things deteriorating as fast as they have done. We were a group of doctors who were appalled at what was happening… Image
…and we wanted to speak up and push back, on behalf of doctors and our patients.

Things have evolved 🚨🚨🚨

The service is crumbling- due to lack of investment, continual attacks and scapegoating of NHS staff, the longest NHS waiting lists in history, and the destruction …
…of our public healthcare system by the infiltration of privatisation in various ways.

It is no longer enough for doctors to fight back on our own- there are not enough of us, and doctors are under *incredible* strain because they are keeping the NHS going. Their time …

Can I please borrow you for one min? I know you’re super busy! 🌟🌟🌟

There are two ways to campaign; reactively, or proactively. Politicians have done a lot of things to decimate public services. They cause so much daily drama that we’re all caught up in reactive …
…campaigning. That needs to change🚨🚨🚨

We are chasing our tails, playing political whack-a-mole while they help out their mates, buy up Facebook ads, and make misleading or empty promises.

We need to find out what the public actually wants, and run proactive campaigns …
…demanding things of our politicians, based on facts and holding them to account.

This is why we are hoping to commission some public polling, to find out what the public actually thinks about NHS privatisation. We are fed up of politicians pushing through policies…

LET’S ASK THE PUBLIC WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT NHS PRIVATISATION!

Hello! I need your help please!💥🌟💙
Let me explain…

Politicians are saying we will help the NHS by involving privatisation.
1. They have never held a public referendum about NHS privatisation.
2. There is *no*…
…evidence that privatisation makes things more efficient in the NHS.

We think it is time for the public to have their say 🚨🚨🚨

EveryDoctor is hoping to commission polling, to ask the public what they think about NHS privatisation and then run a huge public awareness…
…campaign, but we need your help!🌟

When a crowdfund page launches, it’s a bit like an empty dance floor! A crowdfund only takes off successfully if a few people start ‘dancing’ first! We need a few ‘launch donors’ to help kick off our crowdfund, so we can get this project …

Lots of people saying they’re shocked and appalled by what’s coming out of the COVID inquiry. I was in charge of EveryDoctor; fielding a huge amount of testimony both from the COVID frontline from doctors, and also hearing various pieces of confidential info (which we then…
…took to the media).

None of this stuff shocks me. It was absolute chaos, a total failure of leadership, and a disaster in terms of human suffering and a lack of care from politicians.

Don’t allow the pundits and the politicians to just use this as a weapon to bash each …
…other with. It might feel compelling to see the feathers fly, but none of this felt compelling to me at the time.

People were unprotected, people were powerless, people died. People were terrified and politics carried on.

Think of the people, think of the human suffering. ..
