Multi-millionaire Reform UK MP calls for NHS break-up: “Buy your own healthcare”

A millionaire wants you to “opt out” of the NHS—are we really buying this?

When you’re a multi-millionaire ex-football club chairman, it seems money really can buy you bigger and bolder opinions—especially about dismantling the National Health Service. Reform MP Rupert Lowe, formerly of Southampton FC fame, is making waves by insisting that Brits should “opt out” of the NHS and fund their own healthcare instead.

“An Animal on the Back of Productive Britain”

Appearing on TalkTV, Lowe called the NHS “an animal on the back of productive Britain,” claiming it’s “killing us.” In fairness, not everyone is on board with his solution: break up the NHS and reassemble it into some as-yet-undefined shiny new model. One might wonder if Lego instructions are included.

Paying Twice: The Great Healthcare Double-Dip

Lowe argues that well-off individuals—like himself—are effectively paying twice for healthcare: once via national insurance, and again through private insurance. Naturally, he blames immigration for the NHS’s woes, conveniently ignoring the fact that one in five NHS workers come from overseas and help keep the system afloat.

Public Outrage: “Wealthy Elites Pose as Anti-Establishment Heroes”

Taj Ali, a former Tribune editor, didn’t mince words on social media, labelling Lowe an out-of-touch product of wealth and privilege. Ali slammed what he described as “Thatcherite ideology” dressed up as anti-establishment heroism, warning that Lowe offers “scapegoats, not credible solutions.”

Bizarre Rant Over Language Letters

Further fuelling the controversy, Lowe took to social media again to vent about NHS letters being translated into languages other than English. He declared that “funding this foreign translation is NOT the taxpayer’s problem.” One might argue that an institution as ‘unproductive’ as the NHS is still busy saving lives and might just prefer patients to read crucial medical instructions in their native tongue.
