It's Our NHS, Let's Keep It That Way

Voting Conservative next month is essentially voting to end the NHS as we know it.

As we saw tonight in the ITV debate between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn, Johnson cannot be trusted with the NHS. Labour sought a freedom of information request for the under-the-table negotiations between Johnson's Tory government and Trump's government in the US...and the almost the whole document was redacted. Despite his constant protestations that the NHS is not for sale, Boris Johnson is, once again, lying through his teeth.

Johnson also took the opportunity to lie to the ITV audience by wheeling out the 'we are building 40 new hospitals' line again and again tonight. Did I say line? I should really say lie.

The Tory government are only committing to funding six NHS trusts with hospitals in desperate need of rebuilding. A further 21 have been allocated 'seed funding', but this would not come to fruition for at least a decade. Around the time it will take Boris Johnson to secure a trade deal with the US.

But don't take my word for it. Listen to this passionate and eloquent medical student here, who dared to ask Boris Johnson a question when he arrived at her hospital for a PR stunt under a phalanx of security and secrecy.

And the debate itself? Well ITV conducted a poll immediately after it and Jeremy Corbyn came out as the most popular based on his performance by 78% to Johnson's paltry 22%.

Be part of the 78%. Vote Labour next month and give the NHS not only the future it deserves but the opportunity to care for us in that future.
