Whilst my thoughts are with those stabbed and their families, I'm sure Reform will already be shouting about immigrants, even though the police have already said they believe it is "an isolated, mental-health related incident".

Protect our NHS. Same applies to Restore, Reform or the Tories. Don’t be fooled, just look at medical bankruptcies in the US. It’s a con.
An enormous lie, private healthcare is our enemy. I started my career in Bupa and finished it in the NHS, which cares and protects patients Bupa sees them as a financial commodity, they spend 6 months training staff not to meet claims, it will cost you thousands when at your most vulnerable.
Among the other issues with this... it's extremely dismissive of the importance of services that councils deliver and which have huge effects on people's lives, such as their roles in education, child protection or social care.
