Exposed: payments to LABOUR Health spokesman from private health firms
Under Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting, Labour Party policy has changed from returning the National Health Service to full public control into allowing it to be converted into even more of a front for private firms to profit from your illness.
Is the reason for this the fact that Streeting is being paid a small fortune every year by private health representatives? See for yourself:

Energy firms consulted on plan for extra profit
Energy prices are coming down at last, so what is the regulator Ofgem doing? It’s consulting the companies on a plan to increase their profit so they can be “financially resilient”.
They just made a killing (sadly, in some cases this may be said to be literal) on prices over the last year but this cash went straight to shareholders, it seems. Wouldn’t it have been better to fix dividends at a lower level and put more of that money into “financial resilience” rather than fleecing the public again?
'People will be staggered to hear that you are consulting on increasing the amount of profit that energy firms are allowed to make. That's not the best timing is it?' @MartinSLewis
Ofgem boss Jonathan Brearley says the increase is to make sure 'companies are resilient'. pic.twitter.com/mVKnPQKIUo
