NEW SNP LAW WILL END NHS SELL-OFF

Streeting's mask slips as he promises to go further than Blair... so we must stop him and save our health service

IT TELLS you all you need to know about Westminster's priorities that, so far in this election, more coverage has been given to the Tories' desperate National Service plan instead of the real priority of the NHS.

That needs to change and change fast. Because the future of the NHS, how it's funded, who owns it, and who it serves is fundamental to the choice we're all being asked to make.

And here's the thing. After 14 years of Tory austerity, the growing Westminster consensus between the Tories and Labour now seems far more interested in selling the NHS than saving it.

People in Scotland obviously expect that from the Tories. Threatening and undermining the NHS is who they are and who they've always been.

They don't even try to hide it.

The deeply disappointing thing is that Labour is now joining the Tories in this Westminster push for NHS privatisation.

Labour's Wes Streeting has been hinting at his privatisation plans for the best part of two years. He has openly discussed "holding the door wide open" to private interests in the NHS.

And private healthcare investors have said Labour would "kickstart private sector investment much more proactively than the Tories were able to do."
