The Labour party, led by Keir Starmer, Wes Streeting, and other members, is emphasizing the need to address mental health and suicide prevention as suicide rates have increased under the Conservative government. Labour's plan includes recruiting 8,500 new mental health professionals, offering specialists in every school, and guaranteeing treatment within four weeks. They also criticize the Tories for failing to address NHS waiting lists and overspending on agency staff. Nigel Farage and Imran HussainMP have also criticized the Tories for lying to voters and presiding over a wrecked economy and rising poverty.
❌ For 14 years the Tories have failed to train enough doctors and nurses. 📈 Last year alone the NHS spent a staggering £4.6 billion on agency staff. 🩺 This is double the cost of Labour’s plan to train 10,000 more nurses and 7,500 more doctors. https://t.co/nfFbqXHq6u

#NHS waiting lists have trebled since Tories came to power 14 years ago! PM’s pledge to cut them has effectively been abandoned, with Conservatives choosing to blame NHS staff instead of fixing the problem. Longer we leave this Govt in power, longer patients will sadly wait. https://t.co/oDmlgDr0Io
