The future of our NHS is on the ballot paper next week.
And if the Tories win, it'll be on the table in a Trump Trade Deal.
The only way to protect our NHS is to vote Labour on December 12 🗳️ 🌹

In 2011, it was Labour Unions campaigning with the Labour Party who stood against the unfair increase to the women's pension age, when it was forced through by the Tory and Lib Dem coalition.
Now it's Labour who are promising to right this wrong.

Our public service workers are the real heroes.
But under the Tories they've had a decade of pay cuts.
That's why Labour will give all public service workers a 5% payrise in April, and real payrises every year.
