In 2020/2021, £86bn in Covid money was added to the NHS budget. The NHS directly received only £18bn of it.

Billions went to Tory donors, their mates, neighbours, and family.

Starmer consistently refused to name his donors. He received a £50,000 donation from pro-Israel lobbyist Trevor Chinn – which was not disclosed until after polls had closed in the leadership election.
