What’s happening?
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…
It always happened where there is “universal healthcare” lol
We’re completely fucked, might as well go for 420k patients wait for 69hours #british #goals
#UniversalHealthcare #YouGetWhatYouPaidFor
The amount of people who see news like this and blame it on the healthcare system as opposed to the people constantly slashing its funds is maddening
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The latest NHS England figures revealed a 20% increase on 2022 in people facing lengthy delays after a decision to admit them to hospital from the emergency department.
Ed Davey, the party leader, criticised the “appalling delays” and accused Rishi Sunak’s government of “ignoring the suffering of patients and driving our health service into the ground”.
Significant waits in A&E have been linked to excess deaths and increased harm to patients, as their condition could deteriorate before they are admitted or given a bed on a ward.
These appalling delays are leaving often vulnerable and elderly patients waiting for hours on end in overcrowded A&Es.
“It is simply unthinkable that Rishi Sunak is now choosing to slash funding for the NHS further, while handing big tax cuts to the banks.
Patricia Marquis, the Royal College of Nursing’s director for England, said: “Behind the numbers are people suffering for hours with no privacy and left in danger of their health drastically deteriorating.
The original article contains 481 words, the summary contains 161 words. Saved 67%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Gotta make sure those 420,000 people were actually sick first, if they’re willing to wait 12+ hours at the hospital with a fever of 105 or with a broken leg or having a hard time breathing, then they’ve proven that they are ill/injured and actually in need of care.
Surely more privatization is the solution to this
