'Don't sell off the NHS - fix it instead': Bernie Sanders warns Brits privatisation 'will make things much worse'

The leftwing senator and former presidential candidate told LBC's Andrew Marr that Britain should try to fix the NHS, which he labelled an "extraordinary achievement", rather than change to another healthcare model.It comes after waves of strikes among NHS staff, who claim they are overstretched and underpaid, although nurses have recently paused planned industrial action.

Mr Sanders was speaking after Jeremy Corbyn, the left-wing former Labour leader, was barred by his successor Sir Keir Starmer from standing as an MP again for the party, after having the whip suspended in 2021.Mr Corbyn's ban was met with outrage by some on the left, and the Islington North MP himself called Sir Keir's move "a flagrant attack" on democracy.

Mr Corbyn has been vocally and visibly supportive of the strikes that have disrupted much of everyday life for many British people in recent months, as workers in several industries push for above-inflation pay rises.

BernieSanders Anyone who has seen the American system will know why Bernie Sanders admires the NHS I'm stunned that the Americans accept the 'only the wealthy get good health' system that they have In some ways, there's more class division there than there is here
