Tony Blair has nothing to offer Labour in 2026. His neoliberalism, backing of endless wars and acceptance of inequality are exactly what Labour must break from if it wants to rebuild support and defeat the far-right.

PFI in our NHS was a costly disaster. It funnelled billions away from patient care and into the pockets of private firms. I've written to the new Health Secretary urging him to ditch Wes Streeting's plan to use private finance schemes to build new neighbourhood health centres.

‘NOT THE NHS AGAIN!’ latest Streeting’s left us his ‘Ten Year Health Plan’: no implementation, funding or workforce - just his belief in AI, his private donations & his ambition. @drstevetaylor.bsky.social @dauk-gp.bsky.social @keepournhspublic.bsky.social #tenyearplan youtu.be/UGJmv5U-tDw?si…

Dear me! NHS England and trusts hunkering down for a fight to drive Palantir’s involvement with the NHS Federated Data Platform and suppress opposition through by threatening staff @keepournhspublic.bsky.social @novaramedia.com novaramedia.com/2026/04/14/n...

Some Palantir employees now have access to all NHS email addresses of staff, no permission from staff needed. This will ramp up calls to end the £330m contract with Palantir and its Foundry asap @keepournhspublic.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

"The latest reports that training places could be restricted if strikes continue reveal something deeply troubling. Training, the very mechanism by which the NHS sustains itself, is being positioned as a bargaining chip." Excellent from @jatinderhayre.bsky.social metro.co.uk/2026/04/07/s...

Today, @fletchjack.bsky.social Chair of the Residents Drs committee at @bma.org.uk spoke to our Co-Chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social We stand by Resident Doctors in their fight for pay restoration and decent working conditions. There can be no NHS without them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nvbe...

Bullying threats from Starmer carried out today - cutting 1000 doctor training posts. How utterly stupid!!

BREAKING: People who need support to cope with everyday life are incentivised to get support. I've been a national press officer for nearly a decade, but slap my ass and call me Judy - this may be the biggest scoop I've ever come across!! Sincerely, The mother of 2 "incentivised" autistic teens

Govt obsession with small improvements on elective care while the failing standards in emergency care cause 16,600 avoidable deaths and untold misery in one year. Latest in The Lowdown from @johnrlister.bsky.social @keepournhspublic.bsky.social lowdownnhs.info/emergency-ca...

When the NHS has been funded to meet the needs of the population, private healthcare has been static. Its growth shows how successive govts failed to support this essential public service to provide universal healthcare for all. A growing private sector undermines resilience & strength of the NHS…

Our protest last week drew national and international attention. Corridor care is dangerous and inhumane and must be urgently addressed by this govt. 16,600 people die AVOIDABLY every year - this is nothing short of a national disgrace. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/uk-news...

In yesterday's spring statement there was more money announced for military spending, but nothing for our NHS. 16,600 people are dying completely avoidably every year - this is an emergency. Read out analysis here: keepournhspublic.com/konp-stateme...

Our Co-Chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social said: “A cross-departmental approach to reducing health inequalities should be a govt priority, rather than a narrow focus on dubious future benefits from such things as AI and gene testing.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/russ...

Our co-chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social said in the Sunday Express: "When the NHS has been funded to meet the needs of the population, access to private healthcare has been static. This is a sign of how govts have failed to provide essential healthcare for all."

Our successful protest yesterday outside parliament drew the attention of several MPs who were presented with our briefing and the opportunity to follow up. Corridor care is extremely dangerous for patients and traumatising for staff - it must end NOW. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/nhs-...

Join @roylilley1.bsky.social and say to Streeting: ‘STOP - or have more deaths on your conscience’ (hope it’s there). If we halt decimation of #NHS workforce, that vital experience can solve the problems of years of underfunding & diversion of resources to the private sector x.com/roylilley/st...

Govt wants to shift care from hospital to community but refuses to fund NHS community services needed Beware re-run of Streeting’s call to use private ‘spare capacity’ - there isn’t any No to ‘turbocharging’ private expansion on NHS funds Invest in NHS community & GP services tinyurl.com/r8mc885v

Some excellent local press from one of our 50 local groups. Dr Helen Murrell of KONP NE said: "We were very, very unhappy from the beginning and we've been very aware that the service wasn't going well." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yesterday we joined @greenparty.org.uk leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social as he handed in a ‘termination of contract’ letter to Palantir. We oppose Palantir NHS contracts because a secretive surveillance firm linked to the Gaza genocide has no place handling our public health data.

4th report in a yr highlights mortal danger for patients cared for in hospital corridors £10bn for AI/data platforms wrong priority Wes Streeting More important ❗️Sort social care now not 2028 ❗️More GPs & funds ❗️Reopen & staff closed hospital beds ❗️Rebuild #NHS not private health cos bit.ly/4jERzrp

“Next time you can’t see your GP, you’re waiting double digit hours in A&E, or wait over a year to see a specialist, ask if secure employment for Drs sounds unreasonable. Our unemployment crisis is a public health crisis." Vital piece by @jatinderhayre.bsky.social metro.co.uk/2025/12/17/w...

How will A&E function if 85% of hospital activity moves to 'the community'? Why the massive reorganisation & privatisation? @sectorsocial.bsky.social

We spoke to Resident Dr @andrewmeyerson.uk about why he's out on strike this week: "It's shocking; we have the longest waiting list in history at the same time that we have historic levels of Dr unemployment. That's unacceptable; and it's why we're fighting back." www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWTc...

Mike Scott of Notts Keep Our NHS Public said: "Over £40bn of debt is still to be repaid years later. To make a profit, private companies overcharge the NHS, whereas the public sector can build at cost so there's no possibility that private could be cheaper." westbridgfordwire.com/the-nhs-is-s...

Our Co-Chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social said: “Thou­sands are being treated in spaces never designed for care, while staff do the impossible under intol­er­able pres­sure. National guid­ance says cor­ridor care is unac­cept­able. So does basic decency." www.pressreader.com/uk/morning-s...

🚨BREAKING: #NHS patients are outside Wes Streeting's office after waiting 392 days for a meeting. Meanwhile, Wes has found time to accept £220k+ from private healthcare linked donors. So today they came to his office and only then did he FINALLY agree to meet with them.

This winter, #NHS staff across the country will be battling horrific conditions whilst trying to save lives & provide care for patients. Sign our digital Christmas card to show your support and gratitude 💙⬇️ actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-t...

Baron John Hutton, always a close Tony Blair supporter, unsurprisingly gives private finance initiative (PFI/PPP/LIFT) a thumbs-up. He’s disingenuous at best, compromised as Association of Infrastructure Investors in Public Private Partnerships (AIIP) Chair. PFI stinks @keepournhspublic.bsky.social

Proud to have worked with Michael and others on this and I think it's fair to say that the whole team feel the same. We gave families, healthcare workers and keyworkers a vital voice at a time of unimaginable hardship when no one else was listening.

Our Co-Chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social said: “Using PFI to make it seem spending is off the balance sheet is considered a ‘fiscal illusion.’ Embracing this zombie policy demonstrates only the bankruptcy of govt thinking and the power of corporate lobbying.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/camp...

NHS got literally two lines of mention in the #budget and that was mostly to celebrate the loss of 18,000 workers, dismissed as "back office staff". Many of these people (who do btw include clinical staff) worked through covid, and they provide vital admin support to frontline clinicians.

JOINT STATEMENT FROM THE ALLIANCE OF NHS CAMPAIGNS The Autumn Budget is a massive disappointment to all those who desperately wanted Labour to demonstrate that it is on the side of ordinary people and committed to restoring the NHS. #Budget #Budget2025 keepournhspublic.com/health-group...

This is disgusting. I can’t afford to get divorced, I can’t afford to pay the bills or mortgage, I have zero savings and I have a maxed-out credit card. I’ve cancelled my Xmas. And I’m in a senior clinical post. If that’s my life, I can’t even imagine what it’s like for my domestic colleagues. 😡😢😡😢😡
