Britain's health service is increasingly being used to generate profits for the private sector.

Labour Places ex-Israeli Spy in Keir Starmer's Office

Keir Starmer’s Labour Party has hired a former Israeli spy to work in the leader’s office helping manage Labour’s social media output. The ex-spy is Assaf Kaplan, who worked in Israeli military intelligence for nearly five years as an officer in the cyber-warfare branch of Unit 8200. According to his LinkedIn profile, Kaplan was in the Israeli army’s military intelligence division from May 2009 to November 2013.
