122 seconds of NHS spending for youth parliament? Would you make that deal?
The UK's Youth Parliament sat today - yes, it was cringe. But did you know it’s actually funded by taxpayers - with their last grant from the government costing hard-working Brits £750,000?! 👀 Our media campaign manager @yarwoodwilliam breaks down the details👇

2.5% of UK GDP is 4 months and 1 week of NHS spending.
It is my first duty as Prime Minister to keep this country safe. That is why we are increasing defence spending to 2.5% of GDP from April 2027. In an ever more dangerous world, it’s vital that we protect British people at home.

The UK's "Overseas Climate Aid commitment" is a whopping 3 weeks and 18 hours of NHS spending.
Our 'overseas climate aid' commitments consume the annual income tax of almost 1.5 million average taxpayers. People work bloody hard, to get taxed more and more, to have it spent on this nonsense. It is a joke.

As an American I follow this account not because the UK's NHS is good or bad or efficient or wasteful, but because healthcare is a massive cost, and any serious policy (for public or private healthcare) needs to grapple with the immensity of that cost.
What do you guys think? Does this account make you support or dislike the NHS?

There is an account that brags about the amount of money that the NHS spends in a day or an hour. I think it's supposed to make us support it, but instead highlights what a horrendous amount of money they waste.
