    Keir is from the right of the party and surrounded himself with the right wing faction, Progress. He turned his back on unions and got money from business. He’s pro business and likely paid for. Don’t be surprised when he shows pro-business tendencies.

            So the money either goes to trusts or private. If £8bn goes to private, it comes out of trust budgets which means they cannot hire as many doctors or nurses. Without extra funding, things will not go faster as NHS will get slower. It’s diverting funds. It’s privatisation. If they want it faster, they need to find extra funding.

            They’ve made it quite clear they won’t. Hence Streeting keeps talking about not throwing money at it and bashing on about reform. It’s a euphemism for privatisation.

            Labour didn’t win this election without funding. We just find out who funded them and what they may have promised back (using tax payers money).

    Yes, he’s there to guard against competition. Wait, did you misunderstand?

    Here’s an idea: Wait and see what he actually does in the post rather than screeching about it beforehand.

      There is a fox in the chicken coup. It might not be a bad thing. Let’s wait and see what happens. Folk always are too quick to jump to conclusions nowadays.

        It’s Lemmy. Anyone who is involved in owning a business is automatically the Devil and can’t possibly be a good person and do good things.
