{{db-attack}} Alex Scott-Samuel is a British retired lecturer in public health at the University of Liverpool. He is the chair of Wavertree Constituency Labour Party and has a seat on the Labour Party regional board for the northwest. He is chair of the Socialist Health Association.
He has published extensively on topics related to health impact assessment, health inequalities, gender inequality and the politics of health.
He was the joint author of a paper published in 2014 in the International Journal of Health Services which claimed that the welfare cuts, housing policies and high unemployment levels of the Thatcher government led to the "unnecessary and unjust premature death of many British citizens, together with a substantial and continuing burden of suffering and loss of well-being."
In 2015 he described Simon Stevens, Chief Executive of NHS England as the cheerleader-in-chief for NHS privatisation.
He stood for election on the Momentum executive, in 2017 and said that he was "an adviser to Labour's shadow health minister". He got rid of the Socialist Health Association's director only months after he was elected chair of the organisation. As a result UNISON withdrew its financial support.
He proposed a resolution on health policy on behalf of the Association at the 2017 Labour Party Conference calling for the reinstatement of the NHS 'as per the NHS reinstatement Bill' which was passed unanimously.
He is said, by the Jewish Chronicle, to be at centre of allegations concerning the antisemitic bullying of Labour MP Luciana Berger and to be associated with John McDonnell. He submitted a motion of no confidence in her which was subsequently withdrawn after Tom Watson called for the Wavertree party to be suspended. According to Nick Cohen he is Berger's chief enemy.
He has appeared several times on a conspiracy theorist radio show, the Richie Allen programme, promoted by David Icke. He was interviewed about vaccinations in 2015 and talked about the Rothschild family, who, he said, were" behind a lot of the neo-liberal influence in the UK and the US." Wes Streeting called for him to be expelled from the Labour Party and Alex Sobel said "Sharing a platform with these men is incompatible with Labour membership”.
He retired from Liverpool University in late 2015 but still held an honorary position until February 2019 when the university terminated it and removed his pages from the university website.
