I have my complaints about Starmer of course, but Streeting is the one to watch. This guy has no business in the Labour party, and yet he just seems to climb higher and higher. He was instrumental in undermining Corbyn, and now he’s openly calling for privatisation of the NHS.
Why is he on Starmer’s front bench?
Token homosexual.
Rayner and Reeves are the token women.
Oh no, a Labour politician is actually serious about wanting to fix the problems with the NHS instead of just throwing money at it.
How evil.
What’s funny about all of this is everyone is obsessed with the funding model instead of the delivery model.
If you choose to fund it privately, please keep in mind that they need to make a profit - which means that if a publicly funded service could do things within the same cost envelope they would be cheaper as they wouldn’t need to add the profit margin on top. There is no more cost effective solution than single payer, public sector service.
So. Why does no one talk about how healthcare is actually delivered?
One of the biggest problems we have is under paying our doctors…
In case you hadn’t noticed, we don’t have a lot of money to go around at the moment.
We don’t. The wealthy do. The wealthy who’ve been siphoning UK money upwards into their offshore accounts since 1979 have more than they need. Wealth redistribution and then investment would sort our public services out.
Maybe we should sort that out by investing in our country, rather than propagating the disaster the Tories have created?
