It seemed that by the end of the meeting, all the councillors had deep concerns about Palantir being involved in our hospital. and of course congrats also to Claudia and Dr Nick Mann who spoke so well.

Congrats to all the wonderful Palestine activists and KONP activists who attended the Health in Hackney Scrutiny commission this evening and who, together with Duncan McCann, great speaker from the Good Law Project, completely changed the way the meeting went.

The death toll in Gaza has already been updated to 61,709. The true scale of Israel's atrocities is only just emerging - and officials must face justice for every single life lost. So should those who continued to send weapons, knowing full well they were enabling genocide.

Please sign and share this important petition. Cutting the nursing degree at Cardiff university would have a very serious impact on the NHS workforce and is a short sighted decision. petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/24...

"The researchers concluded that the death toll from Israel’s aerial bombardment and military ground operation in Gaza between October 2023 and the end of June 2024 was about 64,300, rather than the 37,900 reported by the Palestinian Ministry of Health." www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/h...

Keir Starmer wants more privatisation of our #NHS. 🤯 Johnbosco explains how the Government’s plans are selling out patients and taxpayers and must be stopped. ❌ #KeepOurNHSPublic #KONP #PublicOwnershipNow #KeirStarmer

It's outrageous that Starmer plans to *increase NHS privatisation* instead of doing this👇🏥 www.youtube.com/shorts/DHknu...

One of our founders, Dr Jacky Davis spoke to @matthew-wright.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk about the latest public survey on the NHS: "We'd like govt to address current problems which are to do with a lack of staff, & lack of beds and that comes down to a lack of money." www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHw0...

Starmer plans to increase private sector involvement in the NHS by 20% & up govt funding to for-profit health companies by £2.5 bn. The need for a renewed campaign for a publicly funded, provided and accountable NHS is clear. For more info about our campaigns/to get involved: keepournhspublic.com

Our Co-Chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk about the latest NHS plans: "I worry that govt think the NHS can be significantly transformed without the significant budget to do so. Transferring from hospital to community is not necessarily a cheap option." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnbg...

Our Co-Chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social said: "Private “spare capacity” relies on NHS staff and funding to resource their expansion. Feeding the parasite undermines the health of the NHS host." mol.im/a/14257221

Our Co-Chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social said: "Another worry is that tech companies with NHS govt contracts are simultaneously working in other fields inimicable to the public health, with development of lethal autonomous weapons systems being a case in point” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/conc...

A reminder of what Labour Party members think about NHS Privatisation and what they voted for. Labour Party members voting unanimously at the 2022 Conference to end all NHS Privatisation.

Our co-chair @DrJohnPuntis said: "Lessons from Covid have not been learned...If our NHS is to be made fit for the future, as promised, it needs to have sufficient staff, beds and estate to cope with such surges in demand." morningstaronline.co.uk/article/less...

Pensioners are getting ill because of the cuts to the winter fuel payment. If the government wants a heathier country, and to relieve pressure on the NHS, reversing these cruel cuts is a good place to start!

Labour & the #NHS: new year, same dangerous mistakes... The government's new health policy announcements look set to further entrench privatisation whilst failing to address the real challenges facing our public health service. Here's what you need to know 🧵⬇️

With patients unable to be discharged into the community being such a huge contributor to the crisis in emergency care, we shouldn't have to wait another 3yrs for the big improvements that are needed. Read our take on govts latest announcements here 👇 keepournhspublic.com/labours-timi...

A&Es overwhelmed due to failure in primary and social care. Also backlog getting specialist care leaves patients/ GPs out of other options. Time to tax the rich!

Wondering when this govt will at least publicly acknowledge the situation in A&Es is now a national emergency. None of us had any hope that would ever happen with the last lot, but this time I think we all thought/hoped things would be different. Solidarity matters. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I agree with this. From personal experience, I know that the lack of suitable caring packages for elderly people leaving hospital, is a reason either for that person to stay longer in hospital than necessary, blocking a bed or for a cycle of discharge, return, discharge, repeat.

Statement from PSC and Palestine Coalition organisations: We strongly condemn police attempts to stop an agreed march for Palestine from protesting at the BBC on 18 January. palestinecampaign.org/statement-on... @hackneygreenparty.bsky.social @hackneyunison.bsky.social

🤯 Blair’s PFI deals are still crippling #NHS hospitals from Newquay to Newcastle. 💰£44 billion still owed across England. 🏥 Whilst hospitals creaking under £13.8 billion repairs backlog bill. ❌ No new PFI in our NHS. #NoNewPFI #KeepOurNHSPublic www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/health/...

When will we “turn the page” on taxpayers’ money going to shareholders in private health companies? When will we have a government that fully supports the campaign to #KeepOurNHSPublic?

THANK YOU to our supporters for everything you've achieved in 2024 🤩 Wishing you a very merry Christmas 🎄☃️ Looking forward to campaigning with you in the New Year ✊ youtube.com/shorts/-g7Ak...

Spy cops inquiry reveals extent of state misogyny. Why haven't these abusers been arrested? Had their gongs revoked? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Labour’s approval rating has fallen to a record low of -41 (YouGov). A race to the bottom on immigration, keeping the two-child benefit cap, driving pensioners into fuel poverty, extending Tory austerity & actively facilitating genocide in Gaza isn’t the change people voted for.
