Jon Trickett MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister without Portfolio, commenting on Nigel Farage’s speech today said: 

“UKIP has a long-standing record of support for increased NHS privatisation and NHS charging.

"Nigel Farage has made clear that he personally believes in increased NHS privatisation, so a single speech cannot hide their real agenda.  

"Last month UKIP’s party secretary said the NHS was the ‘biggest waste of money in the UK’, comparing it to Hitler’s Nazi bunker, only to be defended by Nigel Farage.  

"A vote for UKIP means further tax cuts for those at the top, NHS privatisation and higher taxes for working families. UKIP is a party of Tory policies, Tory people and Tory money - they are more Tory than the Tories.”
