It’s not just the horrific reality of A&E ‘virtual wards’ in corridors but the fact that everyone feels the safety net that we’ve always relied upon at the most difficult times in our lives has been ripped apart.
It's ultimately a good thing that the Daily Mail is reporting this. The problem is that they should've been doing this years ago. Scrutiny is a good thing and will hopefully result in government action. If the Tories were scrutinised in this way, they would've been far better.
Finally. But we really must push back against Streeting and Reeves are now now. The #NHS does not suck money out if the economy, it breathes life into it. Spend on the NHS multiplies by a factor of 4. Even the FT say so. https://bsky.app/profile/nyebev4eva.bsky.social/post/3lfro4luygs2e

Sorry Labour have confirmed they will use the PFI on the NHS. This means parcelling it off to Private Enterprise. But smear or no smear we must stop Streeting from doing it.
DM were part of the Cons breakdown of NHS, there was no campaign to stop it, so is not better. The damage has been done and hundred thousands of people have died and dying!
If I remember correctly, Wes Streeting pledged to have the NHS fixed within 33 minutes and 15.2 seconds of being Health Minister if Labour was elected. So, what happened to that pledge? It’s been 6 and a 1/2 months. 😠
Everyone who voted for the conservatives shouldn’t be allowed to criticise the NHS because they knew the Tories would do this to it, and still they voted for them. They should be ashamed and have a cheek to criticise what they created. The blame lies squarely on Tory voters shoulders.
Anyone that has had to use the Spanish NHS do realise how bad our own system is. Ask any ex pat and they will tell you that our NHS is appalling in comparison.
you know i still have acquaintances, who i used to regard as friends, who are all over 70, and believe what they read in the Mail and are adamant that this Labour govt is making us a laughing stock around the world. They seem to have forgotten the last 14 years🤦🏻
This may sound awful, but I can no longer speak to a friend of over twenty years they have moved so hard, right. They believe everything from the Daily Fail, but what breaks my heart the most is they struggle with their Trans Gender identity. So they still live as a male in public at work and things
Then, only go to known safe places as the Female Gender they really are. It drives me crazy that they can support people who hate them so much to the point that they are still afraid to be who they truly are. Btw it's not the only reason.
It is very sad, and I wish I didn't have to walk away over politics. I don't care if you vote differently to me, and I don't care if you want to debate it with me. There is a point though. When you're shocking me with racist language, and you're down the Covid rabbit hole. I can't do it.
My OH's Dad died in the Covid Care Home Scandal. I don't like calling it a scandal because people died. It was when they said, “But you can't blame Boris they were going to die anyway.” I just said, “Stop talking.” You know what I will do.
I'm over 70 and I cannot believe that people I have known all of my life buy the Mail or the Sun and spout the crap they read in these fascist rags. The baby boomer generation were totally spoilt.
A quick question: Do the panel think that taking away winter fuel payments has anything to do with the state of A&E. And can the panel find some way to blame the Tories for that?
Ah, but you'll find Labour had 14 years in opposition and did absolutely nothing about it!!! 14 years in opposition and didn't come to power with a plan to fix in within months. What did they do with their time?
The NHS used to work very well in the UK during the Blair Brown years when it was properly funded. We now spend less per capita on health than France and it shows. Many studies have proved the UK model itself is not at fault, just needs more funding and to sort out huge problems in the care sector.
Yes and Streeting will parcel off the NHS to PE & it will be finished. You do know Labour Tory and Reform all plan to move to another (not free) model for our health services? All at various times have had donations from foreign health corporations. Streeting is going to start via the PFI.
You are wrong on all accounts. I get roads without potholes for the taxes I pay and basic medical care for free. I pay €120/month for extra care AND dental work without waiting lists. I get a median pension. Miles away from loaded. Get yourself better informed by not only reading English newspapers
Its illegal in Europe ( but standard in US) that a risk increases the insurance costs. Previous health issues are not allowed to influence acceptance or pricing.
We already pay for it now - the Tories refused to deliver the Healthcare that we pay for - instead funnelling money out of the system and away from frontline services.
Got nothing done? Apart from the Lords Reform, £22bn for the NHS, ended strikes, renter reform, zero hours, Schools bill, Employability Rights Bill, non-Doms loopholes, devolved regions, assisted dying bill, free breakfast clubs, green energy launch, resetting EU relation, defence spending up....
There's been a change in the type of beds available, with fewer overnight beds & more for day cases. Between 1987/88 & 2023/24 overnight beds decreased by 56% whilst day-only beds increased by 531% as medical innovations led to an increase in same-day procedures https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-analysis/data-and-charts/number-hospital-beds
14yrs of Tory policy breaking the NHS
A question I have about this particular winter issue is whether the anti vax lobby have persuaded people not to have the flu & covid boosters this winter?
Plastered all over ITV and local news. Plastered all over Good Morning Britain.
yet, they don't put the blame on anything.... why? Who is to blame? Who was in power for 14 years? Who under funded the NHS then gave out millions of PPE contracts and included THAT money within the NHS budget line?
Seems like your LBC presenter NF is also very much in the Daily Fail camp. What has Labour done to fix this crisis he shouts. It’s pathetic to listen to but I doubt if you’ll ever challenge him.

The arsonist returning to the scene of the crime to screech that it was an 'accident' waiting to happen.

It makes a bit of sick come up.

You mean "14 years of tory government, and the Mail's willing collusion in its policies,"

I guess, it’s because there are too many patriotic people in our political system and country!

They were utterly powerless.

In France is absolutely great provided you are loaded.
Seriously make me wonder what you get for your taxes in France.
Only believe words and views from within the British islands. Don’t ever look outside your Times/BBC bubble.
In a tax based system, the wealthy pay more.
In an insurance based system, those at most risk pay more.
Wealthy people are typically more healthy people.
