The Conservatives’ health service failure – summed up in a single graph
Trolley wait: this was almost unheard-of in 2011 but after 13 years of Tory rule, the number of people waiting 12 hours or more on a trolley in a corridor for NHS attention has increased by more than 3,000 per cent.
This Channel 4 News report speaks for itself – almost.
Take a look, then I’ll spill the beans:

There’s just one element missing – the fact that these massive, and increasing, failures are due in their entirety to Conservative government interference in our healthcare, in order to create a false case for privatisation.
The Tories have been obsessed with ending the National Health Service as a means to keep the people of the UK healthy, and focussed on turning it into a means of creating a profit for greedy fatcat health company shareholders and executives.
The fact that your health – or the health of people you know – has suffered as a result is of no concern to them at all.
And with Labour under Keir Starmer and Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting promising also to increase privatisation, there seems to be no end in sight for the agony.
