Here’s why MPs are so keen on private health companies
Did you ever hear of an organisation called EveryDoctor?
It’s a group of doctors campaigning to revive the National Health Service in the face of huge political effort – from both main parties – to kill it off in favour of private companies.
And it has compiled an interactive map showing not only the extent of Tory-driven privatisation, but MPs’ interests in private health firms.
Here’s the tweet announcing it:
We are exposing MPs' interests in private healthcare🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Click on the map below to take a look, + please RT this. Let's spread the word. Our public healthcare system is collapsing, and this is what politicians are doing.

To provide a taste of what you’ll find if you use the map, the organisation has been tweeting interesting entries on it:
Just thought we'd pick out a few things from our map 🔎👀🚨.
We've started to add MPs' links to private healthcare…

Does it seem right to you that MPs, who make decisions about the NHS which affect us all, are receiving donations like this?👀🔎🚨 pic.twitter.com/HfgkBjY0hQ

Interesting, Graham Brady.🔎👀
Take a look at our entire map here. It's a living document, and we'll be updating it with more info…

Just sharing another entry from our map…🗺️🔎
Do you think it's OK that Penny Mordaunt has received this donation of £10,000?🚨https://t.co/78prhxkAlY pic.twitter.com/6Y4rLQecJM— EveryDoctor (@EveryDoctorUK) April 28, 2023

The really important element to grasp is that it isn’t only Tories who are making money from private health. Look at this:
Interesting. What do you think about these entries about Wes Streeting? 🚨
If this worries you, please RT to spread the word.

This is the Shadow Health Secretary. Perhaps now Labour’s about-turn on health policy, so it now supports the increased use of private companies, makes more sense.
Here’s another Labour donation – but this one went straight to the top: Keir Starmer took £12,500 from a private health firm.
Another example from our map🗺️🚨
Does it concern you that the leader of the Labour Party, who has abandoned his commitment to eliminate private outsourcing from the NHS, has taken this donation?👀

Do you really think he’s going to bite the hand that feeds him by returning the NHS to the principles on which it was founded and kicking private profit-makers out?
It seems unlikely to me.
Yvette Cooper’s take has been massive:
Well that's an *enormous* donation, Yvette Cooper. £63388! Anyone else concerned about this? 👀
Why are our politicians taking huge donations from those with interests in private healthcare?💙🚨Check out our entire map here: https://t.co/78prhxkAlY pic.twitter.com/WBfuJ9ggwo

Another enormous donation to a Labour MP, this time Dan Jarvis👀🔎🚨
MPs make decisions about the future of the NHS. We don't think they should take donations from those with private healthcare interests. If you agree, RT 💙

It seems clear that this is the reason neither Labour nor the Tories want to rid your health service of the private, profit-making parasites:
They are taking donations from those firms.

As far as I am concerned, almost every MP in Parliament is committing treason against Britain and the British people. They have no interest in serving Britain or the British people. They are only interested in serving themselves, their bank accounts and those that bribe them. They all belong in prison…..Not Parliament!
