Nyligen var vi i Vänsterpartiet med och beslutade om att stänga två vårdcentraler som bland annat fått ersättning för extra långa öppettider trots att de sen inte haft öppet.
Jag har för övrigt haft det här jobbet i två månader och hittills har jag läst ärenden om fuskande vårdföretag varje vecka. Det kommer nya fall hela tiden. Hela systemet med fri etableringsrätt enligt LOV måste avskaffas.

"I am instinctively deeply alarmed by the concentration of so much power in the hands of one individual. Even if I liked Musk, I’d say it was dangerous. I see it as the fundamental purpose of liberals – whether capital L members of the Liberal Democrats, or like-minded people beyond our party and around the world – to hold the powerful to account and put real power in the hands of ordinary people."

Elon Musk has shown his hand. If politicians like me won’t curb his malign powers, who will?
