Full transparency also needed about Rishi Sunak & Richard Sharp’s involvement in this scandal. The Tory Party is engulfed in cronyism & corruption.

Imagine me trying to sack Nadhim Zahawi for avoiding £3million in tax when my wife avoided £20million. No, I can’t either.

Zahawi is still a Minister and MP even though he settled tax issue with HMRC while he was chancellor.

US health insurance giant, Centene, is the single largest provider of NHS primary care in England.

Privatisation is the cause of — not the solution to — the NHS crisis.
