One spark of radicalism has come from the shadow health minister, Wes Streeting. He has dared to advocate an alliance of the NHS with the booming private health sector. But to reform the NHS root and branch must go beyond party politics, and might conceivably embrace elements of insurance and payment, particularly in the area of wellness and prevention. But to work this requires a drastic restructuring under a cross-party consensus. Is Labour up to this?
The private health sector, booming into your bank balance soon. "Wellness and prevention" = it's your fault so pay up, losers.

He’s so utterly deranged. I started reading him in the runup to the Iraq war, on which he was very good, so I formed an inaccurate picture of him as a sensible person

"Pampered pets, polite portraits and enough wan landscapes to fill a field – this show mirrors the numbed, aimless condition of Britain after 14 years of Tory misrule"

the RA summer show is always garbage and always has been a showcase for posh mediocrities with a hobby.

On the left is The Guardian refusing to use any pronouns for Lia Thomas. On the right is The Times that genders her correctly throughout. pic.twitter.com/sevbtC8Ma0— Lee Hurley (@HLeeHurley) June 13, 2024
