Because she is pure evil

nhs charges nurses health care when paid from national insurance element nurses are underpaid, work 12-16 shifts, now empty last months, charges are too high, for medical care these days, taxes should of been abolished yrs ago.

She seems to be obsessed with some kind of deliberate who can be the most callous Tory agenda. Like it's simething that deserves approbation, not disgust.

Roadwarrior29 Because she is right wing ideologically driven Brexshit Tory, not fit for purpose, not fit for public office.

It must be PMS......

We're £2.3t in debt & sinking at an accelerating pace, tax on overseas workers is to slow descent into a dystopia of national debt interest payments that exceed tax receipts & the loss of all state spending that entails. Countries can't go bankrupt, just descend deeper into hell

is it money? I bet it's money

She won’t! She is the hard face of this new “Tory” Party; hard right, fascist, racist, financially incompetent. A wrecking ball let loose across our society. They seem to delight England though😡

Because she hates humans, not being one herself. A member of the Genocide Johnson team genocidejohnson

Because she is an awful person devoid of empathy and basic human decency.

Because she’s a 🐀

Because she is misguided and blinded by anti-immigration at any cost !

Because she hates foreigners.

We have over 100,000 staff shortages during a national medical crisis and again the Tories are making suicidal decisions on our behalf. Their new policy is Hostile Environment on steroids. We should gladly pay Nurses, Doctors and other professionals to fill the gap in our NHS.
