THE NHS

Funding https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💰" title="Money bag" aria-label="Emoji: Money bag">:

The Tories have underfunded the NHS.

Since 2010 the Conservatives have increased NHS spending by just 1.4% - the lowest in 70 years.

The IFS recommends an average of 4% a year to help stem decline of service.

THE NHS

Social care is a prime example of Tory underfunding.

The Conservatives closed 260 care homes and the cut budget by 25%

Weeks before #GE2019 https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> election they announced they have NO plan or pledges on social care.

#ConservativeManifesto #GE2019 https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
THE NHS:

Performance:

Due to the lack of government funding the NHS has declined across the board as shown by these @FT statics.

The Conservatives maintain they are best placed to protect the service and are performing well.
THE NHS

“50,000 new nurses”

Royal College of Nursing disputes this pledge as it does not pay for full training to gain desired recruitment.

Further, funding per head is 17k - nurse salary is 23k.

A reminder, Tories cut the bursary in 2017 leading to 40,000 nurse vacancies. https://twitter.com/theRCN/status/1198658515390410754">https://twitter.com/theRCN/st...

“40 new hospitals”

@BorisJohnson in the #ITVDebate initially claimed he would build 40 new hospitals for the NHS

Under scrutiny from @jeremycorbyn he admitted some of these would be rebuilds

In any event, it was a LIE drawing this response by a learned commentator: https://twitter.com/afneil/status/1196890614740201472">https://twitter.com/afneil/st...
THE NHS:

“6 new hospitals for the NHS”

Johnson again repeated his false claim of 40 hospitals on #bbcqt

Under scrutiny, he said there would be 6 NEW hospitals.

It transpired this was another lie.

It was just 6 rebuilds.

“THE NHS IS NOT FOR SALE”

To the contrary:

The Tories have begun to sell NHS Property and Estates following the recommendations of the 2017 Naylor Report confirmed here by Theresa May

#GE2019 https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> #OURNHS
“THE NHS IS NOT FOR SALE”

To the contrary:

The US trade objectives specify the USA want “full access” to our pharmaceuticals market.

Attempts to scrutinise what this will entail or whether this had been agreed we’re met with redacted documents. https://twitter.com/PMLEGEND/status/1190042381200089089/video/1">https://twitter.com/PMLEGEND/...
“THE NHS IS NOT FOR SALE”

As we head to the polls on December 12 we remain unaware what we could offer in a potential trade deal to the USA.

This is because the Conservatives will not allow it.
NHS FREE PARKING:

In 2010 the Tories scrapped Labour plans for free parking:

For 9 years NHS staff and patients had to pay.

In the #ConservativeManifesto they now want credit for scrapping it.

BBC News - Labour& #39;s free NHS parking plan may be cut https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11274851">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-1...
THE NHS

Do the Tories care about the NHS?

Dominic Cummings, an advisor to Boris Johnson, does not think so. #GE2019 https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
THE ECONOMY

Tory Party giveawayshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥳" title="Partying face" aria-label="Emoji: Partying face">

1. Wage stagnation
2. Per pupil funding down
3. Weakest growth in OECD
5. Debt at 1.8 trillion
6. Increase in poverty
7. Explosion in food banks

An @TheIFS report showed those with least and those with children suffered most under Tories.
THE ECONOMY

Toires have not been economically competent.

Since the global financial crash - The Conservatives have missed and revised down all their economic targets.

Their economic stimulus did not generate the funds required to maintain public services and poorest suffered https://twitter.com/TheIFS/status/1197903282213195776">https://twitter.com/TheIFS/st...
ECONOMY

Poverty:

Despite the above, a UN investigation into austerity and cutting 37% of local council budgets the Home Secretary @patel4witham says it’s not the government’s fault for poverty.

ECONOMY

“Their rich friend at the top”

IFS: Corporate tax break cost 13bn a year.

Reduced rate RAISES 10bn a year.

A DEFICIT of 3bn every year.

This years report small & large biz were largest group in tax gap at combined 21.7 billion.

Social care remains underfunded.
A brief interlude on Nursing:

As aforementioned, namely the second screenshot,

50,000 nurses claim has dismantled on GMB with revelation 19,000 are already existing NHS staff. https://twitter.com/pmlegend/status/1198795832037986304">https://twitter.com/pmlegend/...
POLICE:

Conservatives cut 21,000 officers and said to police federation to “stop scaremongering” and “crying wolf”

#GE2019 https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
POLICE:

Amid 3 terror attacks and rising violent crime Tories are reinstating 1,000 less police than they cut.

All police wanted is MAN POWER. Not new laws, not to be weaponised.

Man power to do community policing and be a proactive service.

POLICE https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👮🏾‍♀️" title="Female police officer (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Female police officer (medium dark skin tone)">

During the terror attacks in 2017, the government LIED about about the numbers of armed police officers on our streets.

#GE2019 https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
POLICE:

Once again - as with most of the #ConservativeManifesto :

The Conservatives are simply asking to fix the problems THEY caused.

This is exactly what all the people need to hear. #GE2019 https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
HOUSING https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏡" title="House with garden" aria-label="Emoji: House with garden">

“WHERE ARE THE HOUSES”

In 2015 the Tories pledged to build 200,000 new starter homes.

To date they have built ZERO.

Another demonstration of their economic failure impeding them from investment.

DEATH CAUSED BY CUTS:

As aforementioned, the cuts in social care have lead to a rise in preventable deaths.

120,000 according to British Medical Journal.

RACISM

Tories have an issue with islamophobia within their parity.

Baroness Warsi’s call for an independent inquiry have been ignored.

Most recently, a chairman resigned as he was horrified by racist questioning during a candidate selection interview.

https://twitter.com/sayeedawarsi/status/1195018154562465793">https://twitter.com/sayeedawa...
RACISM:

Further, Anti-Semetism is an issue for the Conservative party.

BREXIT / NHS FOR SALE

@JeremyCorby released the 451 pages of UK-US trade talks- previously redacted by the Conservatives.

Far from scaremongering, these documents are consistent with the channel 4 investigation which found pharmaceutical agreement will see NHS drug price rise
Back in October, #Dispatches investigated Trump& #39;s Plan for the NHS:

This specifically targeted the relationship with the pharmaceutical industry and ‘secret meetings’ between UK and USA.

We were told this was a conspiracy theory and scaremongering.
As aforementioned,

Concern about the NHS centred around the US trade objectives stating it wanted full market access to UK pharmaceutical market.

Again, this was dismissed as scaremongering by the Conservatives. #GE2019 https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> #NOTFORSALE https://twitter.com/PMLEGEND/status/1198800360825114624">https://twitter.com/PMLEGEND/...
BREXIT/ NHS Not for Sale

#ITVDebate

Corbyn: You’re going to sell out our NHS to the USA and Big Pharma

Boris: No Conservatives Government would ever put NHS on the table.

We now know this was a lie, the pharmaceuticals & patents discussed.
Gardiner: You’re too smart a journalist [to not know pharmaceuticals & services] relate to NHS

@afneil: It’s inevitable Pharma will be discussed

Gardiner: [In which case] you’re accusing the PM of lying

Labour are right on this

THE NHS IS ON THE TABLE
BREXIT/ NHS for sale

Why are pharmaceutical drug patents important?

The longer the patent for a drug, the more EXPENSIVE they are.

And that is the whole point.

You rarely see an off day from Andrew Neil but even he had to concede on this fundamental point. #AndrewNeilShow

Except the US trade objectives published February 2019 are asking for indiscriminate full market access for US products.

Hands off the NHS.
