In January 2015, the National Health Action Party organised a mass-whistleblowing inspired by a tweet from then-leader Dr Clive Peedell. NHS campaigners and staff united to send 30,000 tweets exposing the Tories, with the hashtag #PublicDuty trending UK-wide on Twitter that day. In March 2016 we repeated the feat, reaching an estimated 350,000 people. And a third Twitterstorm before the …

The last 30 years of incremental changes to the NHS shows that there already is a …

URGENT action needed by THIS FRIDAY 30th September! The Communities and Local Government Committee has launched an inquiry into public parks to examine how they should be maintained now and in the future. The inquiry will consider alternative management and funding models, such as mutuals or trusts. This amounts to nothing more than privatisation. The Committee says that local authorities …
