    The Tories have been bleeding the NHS for 13 years in the hoping of getting it to deteriorate to a point where they can make bank out of privatising it, without the british public realising it’s their fault.

    A difficult balancing act as the NHS has near universal support across all voters so assassinating it while not being caught is tricky.

      Well done, this is exactly it. They are setting it up to fail via persistent underfunding until they can point and say “look! It failed. The public sector would do much better.”

      Then they sell all the contracts to their mates from public school and the government no longer has a duty of care for the health of its citizens.

      Honestly, in a time like this, the Tories et Blairites who put this in motion should be a la lanterne…
