NHS boss Simon Stevens NHS 5 year plan is silent on £10bn of #PFI mortgage repayments? Incompetent or corrupt? #NHScrisis

Labour’s proposals bear similarities to Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contracts that were expanded under Tony Blair’s premiership and have led to inflated repayment costs.

Labour's plans to use private finance to pay for infrastructure will cost more than using public funding in the long run, and could lead to toll roads and extra charges for the public, experts have warned.

Yes @Azeem_Majeed and much of the new NHS money went via PFI to shareholders, equity investors bankers and service operators and is still flowing to them. That’s a key reason for lack of capacity in our nhs -bed and service closures and the great sell off. Media don’t discuss

Govt under pressure to back Biden’s global corporation tax plan. The proposed minimum tax rate is not perfect but better that what we have. Germany, France, Canada, Italy and Japan support it but not the UK, the home of a global tax abuse industry.

During David Cameron's UK Prime Minsitership a senior civil servant became a director of Greensill whilst simultaneously in charge of billions of pounds worth of government contracts. Later Cameron became a director.
How deep is UK political corruption?

Can anyone from @bbcnews explain why this is the lead story online - and not the fact that a High Court judge just ruled that the health secretary @MattHancock broke the law in his awarding of multimillion pound PPE contracts?

Barts Health is in disaster mode & cannot provide high standard of care. As a GP & patient, I am calling for PFI repayments of over £2 million/week and an extra £6 billion in total to be suspended until further notice. Please retweet to cancel all PFI debt standard.co.uk/news/health/r…

Wouldnt it be wonderful If politicians and @CMO_England said ‘we got Operation Moonshot Wrong’ We now understand its complexity so lets Stop mass testing and the 100 billion pound contracts and think it through . @MattHancock @JeaneF1MSP @Keir_Starmer @JonAshworth @NicolaSturgeon

Whitty and Vallance admit today that lack of health services capacity (years of underfunding and closing nhs beds and services under PFI) is driving lock down policies. government mortgaged our children’s future with PFI and seems intent on destroying it and deepening poverty.

The public health consequences of this raise so many questions
How many contacts of these *missing* 16,000 have been unknowingly spreading the virus?
When will the Govt deliver a functional test & trace system?
Why is Dido Harding still in her job?

PPE Deals worth billions granted by the UK govt to its cronies, often without any competitive bidding, in secrecy, non-compliance with the govt's rules & without public accountability.
It stinks and the govt shows no sign of giving an honest explanation.

Tony Benn was right.
#NHS has been reduced to a logo and a funding stream
Ethos has been trashed
Patient charging have been established
Huge management and bureaucratic market structure imposed
Standards falling
Medical teams disempowered
A&Es overstretched and dangerous
