Remembering the #NHS and all #KeyWorkers, this bench in honor in St John's Wood Church grounds, they are still holding our society together, and the NHS is still in crisis every winter, we must support & fight to #KeepOurNHSPublic #OurNHS join @keepournhspublic.bsky.social

The NHS is in crisis: 6 million people on waiting lists, 16,600 avoidable deaths annually. Keep Our NHS Public has fought for 20 years to defend our health service. Please support our emergency appeal today keep the fight going! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/20th-anniv...

Our continued work depends on this emergency appeal. Please donate here πŸ‘‡πŸ™πŸ’™ www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/20th-anniv... youtu.be/FYxLQABN6Yw?...

SubCos (wholly-owned subsidiary companies) are private companies, set up by NHS Trusts - and they're sadly back on the agenda. Contracts take NHS workers out of the NHS, with inferior T&Cs against their will, and must be opposed. Find out more here πŸ‘‡ keepournhspublic.com/five-things-...

Our Co-Chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social appeared on the Islam Channel to speak about the importance of immigration for health and social care, in response to PM Starmer's recent comments. Watch the full interview here: youtube.co www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZehS...

We have been an island of migrants for ever and we can thank our lucky stars. We must not become an island of racists. Excellent @keepournhspublic.bsky.social statement keepournhspublic.com/starmer-is-w...

Our Co-Chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social said: "If the NHS fails, the economy fails. Now isn't the time to say there's β€˜no more money,’ but to invest for the future while creating a fairer taxation system so the rich pay a fair share.” Repost if you agree. www.morningstaronline.co.uk/article/nhs-...

Our friends at the @chpithinktank.bsky.social have developed a handy tool to explore how much profit is leaking out in your local NHS area just in relation to eye care privatisation so that pressure can then be brought to bear on local councillors/ local NHS ICBs πŸ‘€πŸ‘€ www.chpi.org.uk/the-outsourc...

Our Co-Chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social said: "Rather than a valued partner with shared objectives, the private sector is exposed for what it is β€” a parasitical and ruthless competitor.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/nhs-...

Our Co-Chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social: "It's not just a crisis in care – it’s a national disgrace. Emergency care needs urgent political attention & investment, not more excuses. Only a fully funded, publicly owned NHS can protect our most vulnerable” www.morningstaronline.co.uk/article/doct...

Our first blog is live! Our Ops & Comms Officer @samanthajwathen.bsky.social says: "We need systemic change, resilience isn’t about pushing through until you break but about having the space, the tools, & the support to keep going safely, sustainably & with dignity" frontline19.com/beyond-crisi...

Our Co-Chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social writes about the abolition of NHSE and what it means for the health service, for @publicsectorfocus.bsky.social magazine. Read the full piece here πŸ‘‡ flickread.com/edition/html...

Unsurprising that our urgent care system is creaking under the weight of the pandemic's legacy, burnt out staff, years of underfunding compared to need and an ageing population. Far more surprising that it still hasn't been given the attention from govt it deserves. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Understaffing is the single biggest issue facing our NHS, and has been for years. Investing in staff welfare, resolving training bottlenecks & improving pay could all be done within the short term to alleviate pressures and create a better environment for all. www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

Public satisfaction with the NHS (at just 21%) is now the lowest ever recorded. Only 11% of those surveyed thought there was sufficient staff and a huge 69% thought the govt spent too little on the NHS. You get what you pay for. Fund the NHS. www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/research/pub...

I’ll be there! Will you!?

Join the NHS bloc on the People's Assembly National Demonstration aginst Austerity! Assemble 11:30AM - exact location to be announced! WELFARE NOT WARFARE | STOP NHS JOB CUTS | END NHS PRIVATISATON

Cuts & privatisation WILL NOT make the NHS more efficient, but far less. Cutting up to 150,000 NHS staff will have significant and far reaching implications upon remaining staff & the quality of patient care. This is a complete false economy and a huge mistake. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Seven years today as Press and Media officer for @keepournhspublic.bsky.social We're all just trying to help in our own way. Solidarity and thanks to everyone fighting for change πŸ’™

Our Co-Chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social on Talk TV today about the need to include all sections of the population in methods of communication with patients. An over reliance on apps & electronic messaging may mean that some people will miss out on vital health information. youtu.be/3VTzOSgW6Ow

Our co-chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social said: "The lethal Tory inheritance left for this government has to be seen as an emergency and Labour must act now: fund urgent care β€” GPs, community, A&Es, ward staff and mental health." morningstaronline.co.uk/article/more...

Our Co-Chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social spoke to David Bull on Talk TV about the results of the latest public satisfaction survey on the NHS. Only 59% of respondents are now happy with the service - the lowest amount ever. Listen to Tony explain why this is πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡ www.youtube.com/watch?v=erf8...

Our Co-Chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social said: "This isn't a failure of the NHS model but a direct consequence of years of underfunding, staff shortages and creeping privatisation." morningstaronline.co.uk/article/reco...

Looking forward to it πŸ‘ŠπŸ’™

We opposed NHS England in 2012. But why is Labour abolishing NHSE now? 10,000 job cuts, the old Blair team in charge and a green light to private parasites invading the NHS host. My interview on Novara Media (first item) youtu.be/66HmZlAIzAE

I spoke at an incredible protest at Downing St and Parliament today against the brutal welfare cuts - Β£6bn confirmed by Rachel Reeves #WelfarenotWarfare @dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social @stopthewaruk.bsky.social youtu.be/JSuxMBDlcoY?...

Publicity on the British Social Attitudes Survey on #NHS emphasised low public satisfaction but most failed to note: πŸ‘90% back the NHS model βœ…69% call for more funding βœ…72% call for more staff 49% would pay more tax if needed Dissatisfaction is aimed at government

Tom Griffiths from Keep Our NHS Public spoke to the We Demand Change Summit this Saturday. 'We say to Starmer and Streeting, stop your cuts, stop funding the private sector, stop funding war. The NHS is here to say, and so are we.' youtu.be/peEFL-Vw2ug

Lewisham campaigners protest disability benefit cuts, while Greenwich councillor Majella Anning resigns from Labour Party @keepournhspublic.bsky.social www.salamandernews.org/lewisham-cam...

Our Co-Chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social spoke to LBC News today about the British Social Attitudes Survey. Only 59% of the population are now satisfied with the NHS - the lowest on record, and testament to the failure of successive governments to fund it properly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rcsi...

"Other than repeated claims to be β€˜on the side of working people’ Rachel Reeve’s Spring statement sounded more like a Conservative chancellor’s speech than a Labour Party committed to β€˜ending the status quo’. " Read our analysis here πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡ keepournhspublic.com/labours-aust...

Tom Griffiths, from Keep Our NHS Public on why we're fighting the government's plans for the NHS. "Wes Streetings and Keir Starmer's policies are going to cost lives and they're going to put more pressure on the NHS right at a time when it needs it the least." #Budget25 youtu.be/SLPwo1drEDA

Yesterday, @socialisthealth.bsky.social , @keepournhspublic.bsky.social and others, talked to attendees at @wesstreetingmp.bsky.social β€˜s event about why we need to reinstate a fully publicly provided NHS. Most of them agreed with us. #PatientsNotProfits #StopNHSPrivatisation #NHSReinstatement

Ahead of #Budget25 we protested the government's NHS plans for increased privatisation outside Conway Hall, where health secretary Wes Streeting appeared in conversation with the Guardian. The government must invest in the NHS, not the private sector.

Our Co-chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social said: "If extra money can be found for defence, it must also be found for the NHS.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/if-e...

Keep Our NHS Public is shocked and outraged by the government’s plan to cut disability benefits. We demand a restoration of the NHS to its founding principles, and that the government back down on the cruel attack on disabled people. Our full response: keepournhspublic.com/labour-party...

Bookmark this date: Sat 7 June. Join us on the streets to send this Labour govt this message: No More Austerity 2.0 #WelfareNotWarfare #StopTheFarRight #StopTheCuts Supported by @rmtunion.bsky.social, @dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social, @pcsunion.bsky.social , @keepournhspublic.bsky.social & the NEU.

Our Co-chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social said: "The RCN highlights how lack of investment in NHS staff and facilities translates into misery not just for patients but also for hard-pressed and underpaid nurses." morningstaronline.co.uk/article/this...

Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all the fabulous women working in all the varied roles across our NHS. With around 70% of the service being made up of women, the NHS would completely collapse without their hard work and dedication. We hope they can take a moment to feel proud today - thank you πŸ’™

Number of additional NHS appointments delivered by Labour in first 7 months = 2 million. Number of appointments delivered by NHS in 7 months = 79 million. Waiting list = 7.46 million. All adds up to need for new thinking + funding. @keepournhspublic.bsky.social

Please join us outside Conway Hall on March 25, from 6:30pm where Wes Streeting and Pippa Crerar are holding a discussion called β€˜England’s health and social care system is in crisis. How does Labour plan to turn it around?’ (1/2)
