He’s not the messiah.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to cut heart disease, cancer and suicide deaths, in a speech setting out his plans to reform the NHS in England.
He said tackling the three “biggest killers” within a decade would be central to Labour’s NHS mission.
When he’s done that, he will walk on water and turn it into wine. Pompous jerk.
He’s also talking about saving the NHS in general, by throwing yet more money at it. As is usual for him though, he’s not quite so vocal as to where the money is coming from. That magic money tree of Corbyn’s I assume.
“But Labour’s leader said the Conservatives had brought the NHS “to its knees”.
Not likely as such knee and hip operations have been on a year-long waiting list for ages, and used to be normal when Bliar was hanging on, and Brown was trashing the country!
I guess flying first-class helps such busy people like Labour’s shadow chancellor to relax and enjoy the ride, but cattle-class means very sore knees and fat ankles…
I don’t suppose Sir Ikea gave any pointers and interim goals for how these targets were to be achieved?
Or are we talking about the typical politician who has great aspirations – which are then downgraded to *any* reduction in numbers, however small, helped along by redefinition of categories and suspect statistics? Or even the slim achievement of ‘reduction in the rate of increase’.
Silly to ask really.
The only miraculous transformation Starmer can do is turning wine into urine. He needs to be more careful where he sprays.
