Rishi Sunak - Prime Minister
Discussion

Possible scenarios; Sunak is rewarding Gullis for leading out the media round last week when we all thought they were going to knife him. Gullis threatened to defecate to Tice's limited company & it's a bribe. Or Sunak is too stupid to learn the lesson of 30p Lee & is about to shoot himself in the face again, Whatever it is, the corpse is twitching & needs a coup de grace.
Poisoned chalice rather than a bribe I would have thought. Why would anyone want the job? Is it well paid?Seasonal Hero said:
I love how our resident right-wingers are of course blaming that on the doctors and nurses.
I don't know about right wing. I was previously a Union rep in the 80s and NHS management were incompetent then and are incompetent today. I don't think many people get to see just how incompetent and self-serving they are so they take out their anger on the front-line medics, most of whom are in the job for all the right reasons. However, you can be motivated for the right reasons and still provide a poor service if you're badly managed, in which case you're unlikely to stay motivated.Seasonal Hero said:

Don’t expect public support to improve when the unions are holding them to ransom. Sure to get better with the socialists arriving….they have such a firm grip of the Union leaders

Those damn tories again, creating covid, forcing doctors to strike, etc.
Because we all know labour, unlike the rest of the world, would have done everything perfectly re covid , picked the increased pay for doctors from something akin to their money tree and done away with inflation, just as brown did away with boom bust.

The senior Tory, who was banished from Rishi Sunak’s government late last year, is likely to deliver a stinging rebuke of the PM – just weeks before the polls open for local elections across the country. The London mayoral vote also takes place on 2 May.
Her fiery rhetoric could hammer another nail into Sunak’s coffin, with pressure growing on the Tory leader to call a General Election as soon as possible. Braverman’s presence at NatCon is also likely to cause more headaches for the party.
Last month, the 49-day Prime Minister Liz Truss fraternised with extreme-right figures in the US, drawing disgust from observers back home. She even gave an interview to Steve Bannon, blaming the presence of a ‘deep state’ for cutting her premiership short.
Braverman’s date with demagoguery is set to lumber the Tories with more existential, identity-based questions.

21%. Today. Under a Labour government.
Here you go:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-68669866
"Public satisfaction with the NHS has dropped again, setting a new low recorded by the long-running British Social Attitudes survey.
Just 24% said they were satisfied with the NHS in 2023, with waiting times and staff shortages the biggest concerns.
That is five percentage points down on last year and a drop from the 2010 high of 70% satisfaction.
The poll - the gold-standard measure of the public's view of the health service - has been running since 1983."

That’s the Tory legacy for you. Broken Britain. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-68669866
