The Tories:
As a political term, Tory was an insult (derived from the Middle Irish word tóraidhe, modern Irish tóraí, meaning "outlaw", "robber", from the Irish word tóir, meaning "pursuit" (since outlaws were "pursued men") that entered English politics during the Exclusion Bill crisis of 1678–1681.
The Treasury
Treasury refuse NHS improvements! The Treasury think they are so clever cutting doctors, nurses, midwives, hospital size with PFI, beds.
Treasury refused excercise Alice and Cygnus, DHSS failed to develop and document proper logistics for PPE, drugs procurement.
Treasury refuse Full pay restoration after Treasury dictate to DDRBody-causung staff to leave, no new staff to enter the NHS.
Social care is now largely privatised-and care workers paid pitifully low. Treasury refuse to give foreign care workers and NHS frontline staff UK citizenship-stealing foreign workers, deterring foriegn Doctors...
Sunak spent money like water-on T&Trace, Furlough, eat out to die, VPI PPE aquisition-all they claim now to be "record NHS funding (After inflation and wasted spend-NHS funding is well below that uplift required-4% a year, below EU average)
Cut borrowing by prioritising the NHS and Social care, cease many uneccessary spending-roads? cycle lanes? Academies?, space? AI? (decent IT kit for frontline staff far better) virtual wards? 1st class NHS postage? use-email encrypted? ICBoards? Purchaser provider?
Jeremy Hunt: wants to privatise the NHS
Statement by the tóraidheTory government
We made a complete Horlicks of
-regulating the city, the sub prime mortgage giveaways, separating banks gambling
divisions from the retail customers
-the pandemic VPI Lane dodgy deals, Di do’s No test, no trace, PPI procurement,
stocks, sourcing,
-old people’s homes,
-dismissed Exercises Alice and Cygnus
-allowed Truss to overborrow, wreck mortgages, hike interest rates,
-allowed cowboy privatisation (privatise the World-Letwin, Redwood) to take
humongous profits for CEOs, shareholders- and tripled water, gas and electricity
prices
-spent money like water
-So now we cannot build other than micro hospitals with too few beds, doctors,
nurses
-cannot rebuild the crappy PFI hospitals built from balsa wood and RAAC
-cannot restore frontline staff pay-so they leave…
-refuse to cease ICBoards which suck money, only told to ration, save money
-refuse to cease purchaser provider-ditto
-refuse to end overseas tax havens
-refuse to tax Google, Amazon
-refuse to claim all taxes owed
-refuse reclaim fraud-Mone, Di do et all…
We, the Tory government, apologise unreservedly for
our failings-
But as a consequence, we have to end the NHS and impose compulsory private US
style private health insurance… there is no more money…Soz!
Thirteen years of tóraidhe
General practitioners
It takes elevan years to become a GP. Practice income is £164 per patient, per year-however many times they request a consult.
This has not risen for years:
Gas, electric, staff wages rise-but the remainder-the doctor's income, falls...
Every GP wants to recruit enough GPs, employ enough pharmacists, receptionists, nurses and pay them well-but their income as GPs falls.
More and more work being dumped on them-many work long hours, and on their days off-to care for their patients-but are depressed, anxious of missed diagnosis, burnt out, demonised by right wing rags like Daily Mail and Telegraph,
Most are full of innovation-but government treat them as "the enemy", do not accept good ideas, nor listen to their concerns.
Many retire early, cut their hours-to see their long suffering families ...
Some drink, become irritable or even abusive...
Pharmacists
Pharmacies are closing at a huge rate
business rates, staff wages, gas, electric all rising, reimbursement by government for drugs and medicines falling. More and more work being dumped on them.
Save Our Pharmacies website
Are Labour any better? Do we have any hope of a publicly
funded NHS free from privatisation leeches sucking CEO salaries, shareholder
dividends from our taxes???
Palentir
It is a grave mistake to allow Palantir the default NHS software system
also totally foolish to let Palantir have all the NHS patient data for the Federated
Data Platform. Data is worth £11 billion, and will probably be sold to
US style medical private insurance companies to promote or eliminate patients
from insurance.
Update: despite widespread concerns, BMA especially, government have awarded Palentir the FDP contract...
Palentir helped US immigration dept to track citizens. This lead to parents being arrested, seperated from children, and deported.
It could relay NHS data to UK immigration.
Opt out link (for what it's worth)
It seems to me that , as Thiel says, the data can be sold with the agreement of the NHS (Sunak)
and would enable a massive ad campaign targeting rich, low risk private health insurance patients-
further enabling more privatisation, more dismantling of our NHS
Does Sunak have any offshore accounts? Does Sunak or Mrs Sunak, get a cut of any deals?
Sunak seems to have rammed this deal through as urgently as possible!
Does he or a relative get a % cut???

Physician Associates
PA’s should NOT be registered with the GMC-which is for bona fide five
years medical school genuine doctors.
They should not have identical registration numbers
to fool patients…
Barclay is using Physician Associates to undermine the BDA-DANGEROUSLY!!!
Question: Have the GMC, the Royal College of Physicians been steam rollered by government to accept this?
Full pay restoration should at least be started-
-as in Scotland (No strikes, competent ministers!)
Doctors are burnt out, underpaid, GPs have lower funding despite higher “productivity”
and cannot afford frontline staff recruitment, lower workload, and cannot afford
locums after gas, electric etc
We must RETAIN more GPs, not see them wasted by retirement, drop out…
Reduce Quality Care Outcome paperwork, better IT systems and clerical, assistance...
Maternity, nursing, radiographers, oncologists all negligently undermanned-
Campaigners are blue in the face trying to stop the Tories
long wished aim to dismantle our NHS and Social Care-started by Thatcher, Howe,
Clark …, over the last thirteen years...
An improved NHS can be paid for by
-stop Clinical Commissioning Boards, Integrated Care Systems-merely devices
to ration care and reduce spending, thousands in salaries...
-stop purchaser provider
-Make Google, Amazon pay fair taxes
-Stop overseas tax havens
-Collect all taxes due
-Collect evaded, avoided tax
-Stop fraud Covid payments
-Recover payments-Di do, Mone, furlough...
-Stop spending tax money like water (T&Trace, Di do, Mone et al) on non-priorities...
The NHS and Social Care should be the UK's biggest priority!!!
Who is Kate Andrews-who never describes her occupation in Telegraph articles?
To say that Kate Andrews lives in the shadows would be unfair-possibly hanging
upside down in a cupboard but not so much in the shadows. However, she does
not appear to have a wiki profile so finding out much about her is a little
challenging.
What we do know is that she is economics editor at the far right Spectator magazine
and a machine head for other far right organisations internationally.
In order to get close and do the citizen media thing we only had to turn to
twitter. There the work is done and sentence passed.
So what do we have:
Former employee/Current assistant director of Institute of Economic Affairs
(told you info was a little challenging).
Wants NHS to be sold in to private sector
Corporate lobbyist
Former member of the Adam Smith Institute
So called libertarian.
Now before we go any further this libertarian stuff needs to be addressed. It
is a badge worn by those who are either very stupid or who intend to deceive
for their own self interests. Why?
Please take a pew and have a munch on this.
YOU MEAN THE AMERICAN FUNDED KATE ANDREWS WHO WON'T SAY WHO FUNDS HER ORGANISATION??? SHE IS A BIG FAN OF MEDICAL INSURANCE AND REMOVAL OF THE NHS. SHE IS IN COLUMN E.
And all it took was 12 years of chronic underfunding. For the avoidance of
doubt, Kate Andrews and Fraser Nelson are not honest brokers here. In fact they're
dreadful, dreadful people who want to kill off the NHS.
Public opinion is turning on the NHS, says Kate Andrews
https://spectator.co.uk/article/nhs-failures-are-forcing-people-to-go-private
Telegraph article, no description, 19.11.23
Few have any disagreement with any surgeon who, after years of hard work for the NHS, having developed their skills and knowledge, being shafted by the government,
decide to work privately.
The rich will always obtain good medical care-but-there should always be a prudent surplus of well paid doctors, nurses, midwives, beds and good sized hospitals.
Private chains require profits, and take NHS trained staff from the real NHS...

https://www.gponline.com/exclusive-patients-shun-wasteful-darzi-centres/article/1078318PCT data also showed that the centres, which each PCT was forced to set up under the previous government, cost an average £1.1 million each year.
GPC negotiator Dr Peter Holden said these findings showed the centres were a 'massive waste of money'.
DoH director of commissioning Dame Barbara Hakin wrote to PCTs in February outlining that Darzi centres which failed to register many patients could have their lists spread out among local practices.
The LMCs conference voted last month for all Darzi centres to be shut and their funding redistributed in local practices.
NHS Isle of Wight said it would review whether to continue offering patients the chance to register, because its centre has just one registered patient. Caroline Morris, senior commissioner for primary care at NHS Isle of Wight, said: 'We were sceptical if there was a need for a further practice. While one patient is quite a lot lower than we expected, we never expected it to be very high.'
NHS Hampshire said it was 'disappointed' that its centre had only registered 278 patients, but suggested its location had led to low uptake.
Dr Holden said it was 'outrageous' so many centres had struggled to register more than 500 patients. 'You cannot justify investment for that,' he said. 'The whole thing has been an expensive charade that has wasted taxpayers' money. It was just about political spin.'
GPC chairman Dr Laurence Buckman said the 'vast majority' of Darzi centres were a 'millstone around the neck of the NHS'. He said the GPC position is that all Darzi centres must be closed. 'We all believe they are a complete waste of money. I won't be sorry to see them go.'
Many PCTs are looking to review the centres, some as part of the Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention agenda or a drive to ensure value for money.
The GP investigation found that some PCTs had already changed the services on offer. NHS Mid Essex converted its GP-led health centre to a nurse-led facility last year.
Darzi centres were set up to offer access to a GP seven days a week, from 8am to 8pm, but six PCTs said their centre did not fulfil these criteria.
NHS Halton and St Helens closed its centre because it was 'deemed not to be viable'. NHS Plymouth and NHS Enfield have also closed their centres.
The DoH said any decisions to review or close a centre must not just look at the number of registered patients.
