The last 14 years has not been the “least worst”

That deal led to the collapse of the Afghan govt, which prevented an orderly withdrawal “Senior military officials in the United States have linked the collapse of the Afghan government and its security forces in August to former President Donald Trump’s deal with the Taliban in 2020 promising...

I find it shocking that the Republican Party that was always strong on defence has become the party of running away from Ukraine and capitulating to Putin Ostensibly the reason is “America first” The real reason is Trumps business involvement with Russians

I agree with much of that.

I was responding to the claim NHS is too expensive and too top heavy….it’s not. Outcomes are poor, but that’s expected given its underfunded and lacked capital investment since last Labour govt (who did it with PFIs) I would like to see Wes Streeting reform it like he claims but I fear he...

Evidence, data, facts from quality sources, below is OECD and Kings fund People who claim NHS is far too expensive and a bottomless pit, aren’t looking at the facts. People who claim NHS is top heavy and all managers…aren’t looking at the facts NHS spend per capita NHS admin cost

What is nonsense?

Tony you are certainly very opinionated…..you could learn a lot from the range of views and knowledge from the people contributing to this thread instead of listening to yourself. Have a careful read of this post, it makes some really fundamental points

Thank you for your post although Im not sure your political tribalism which prompted your fearmongering is that helpful.

I’ve just read the executive report by OBR, and it doesn’t seem to say what you claim, in fact it says growth will rise from around 0 under Tories to 2% by 2025 under Labour. It also states disposable income will grow. 1.15 Real household disposable income (RHDI) per person, a measure of...

NHS compares well against the leading health services like France Germany, Italy. That might be true of British Leyland and similar. It is not true for public utility infrastructure, monopolies, energy, rail. Healthcare: USA system is over 2x dearer than NHS, service is no better in many...

2019-2024 Tory govt put £80b of tax raises in place. How does that fit with your trope

The NHS has rather lower management / clinical staff ratio than other leading health systems. did you complain about the last Tory govt that put £80b of tax rises in place? I guess you didn’t complain about Jeremy Hunt cutting NI, which was totally unfunded and was a deliberate trap leading...

Labour are putting more money into the NHS so their loved ones might live longer
