NHS strikes: at last people are talking about the elephant in the room
Unite General Secretary Sharon Graham has at last given voice to what could be the real reason the government is not talking about pay with the unions responsible for strikes in the National Health Service.
It’s a simple reason, too:
The Conservatives are planning to privatise the NHS outright.
This Site has made the point already; private health companies are more likely to snap up elements of the service if payroll costs are low.
Here’s the discussion between Ms Graham and Sky’s Sophie Ridge:
It’s good, also, to see someone making it plain that the government has been lying – about ambulance drivers endangering lives and about pay discussions.

The tories must be held to account for their lies, theft, fraud, corruption, social murder, corporate manslaughter and treason! Where are the arrests, convictions and jail time!!!
why aren’t labour coming out and saying this she asked?! labour are planning to privatise the NHS too! I’m sick of labour as it’s nothing but a brand that’s really a cheap knock off!!!
Bingo!!! Unite General Secretary Sharon Graham is absolutely correct the fascist tories have no intention of engaging in pay negotiations because their sole agenda is to destroy the NHS and create a very profitable private health corporate company!
Where is that fake prime minister Sunak? Well he’s hiding because he knows his fascist tory bros don’t want to engage in pay negotiations but are determined to destroy the NHS! No pay talks means destruction of our public NHS and a win win again for the greedy corrupt and rotten fascist tories!
The health unions continue to wait and wait for the fake government to actually engage in pay negotiations but it won’t happen because destroying our NHS is their sole agenda and yes the fascist tories are all liars! Good that Sharon Graham is calling out the fascist tories for their serial lies!
