    40,000 nurses left the NHS last year ...

    ... shame, they'll miss out on all those new hospitals Boris built, there'll be loads of spare seats in the canteen.

    I don't think the NHS is fixable at this point. Government has played its part but they haven't helped themselves either, and it's impossible to have a sensible discussion about how it can be improved. Until we can, It'll remain a money pit.

    When Truss said she is going to "deliver deliver deliver", she wasn't meaning in the maternity wards then <laugh>

    the NHS...

    going off memory here so apologies if i am way off the mark, but i read/was told that since the sly selling off of various parts that it now costs something stupid like £75 just to fill a soap dispenser in the toilets, something the old porter/janitor would have done in the course of his job...but they are not allowed to touch them now so the outside contractors have to be called in.

    now, if anyone can tell me just how it can be deemed 'cost effective' to do things this way (giving big, juicy contracts to certain people at certain companies) then i will smash my soap box up and use it to try to keep warm this winter.

    i never needed hospital care until i collapsed but when i needed them i found out i had been correct all my life in shouting for nurses to be given the pay rises that MP's got and vice-versa...the government just do not want to put money into anything right now and it will not bother them one jot if we cannot heat our homes, eat properly or get medical help when needed. in face, the more that lose homes or die means more money for them.

    Comes right back to why I hate all the two faced bastards. For the first time ever I won’t be voting, how anybody can justify voting for any of that
    s hit on offer is beyond me.

    yet some still think these people do the job because they want to help the people, they do it for themselves only...that woman was the first to wreck the country and suffer no come backs for it and every government since has just steadily become worse.

    Nah he just likes winding everyone up/ being argumentative.

    Either that or he is a Trump supporter and believes in a flat earth?

    I believe that if I don’t vote , then I shouldn’t complain . What I’d like to see is an option on the ballot that says ‘’ I cast my vote to say I cannot and will not vote for any of the given candidates’’

    Neither.

    I just can't stand flappers who immediately take the most hysterical position on everything political - as long as it suits of course.

    If you are a tax payer then you have every right to complain, you pay money in and if your not satisfied you should have your say. It's called freedom of speech.

    They're your government as well, but neither of us voted for them.

    How much of the 65 billion has been spent?

    You are missing the point, the BoE had to go in hard or all of our pensions would have been worthless... you do know that don't you? It's nothing about actuals, it's all to do with propping up the mess your tory government have made with their hitting the ground running mini-budget
