Rishi Sunak holds emergency talks with NHS

Who has been in power for the past 13 years! I need say no more.

I have bucket loads of compassion, emotional intelligence and empathy. I can emote all over the place. Trust me, Rishi Sunak is a much better bet.
His public delivery is not very sure footed and quite hesitant but he’s the best hope we have for getting the Uk through the current mess.

just keep talking down the Uk it’s really helping … not.

I'm always fascinated to discover that the UK's problems are caused by a few elderly ladies commenting adversely on the current government 😁

I'm sure that the UK's enemies are reading our comments and rubbing their hands with glee as the UK's decline is accelerated by critical grannies...

Moody has recently downgraded the UK’s credit rating and confidence is one area they consider.
It’s not only a few critical grannies who continue to bad mouth the Uk. The grannies have jumped on the bandwagon along with the assorted aliens…,

Sunak has no idea about the workings of money in an economy. Working as a hedgefund manager is using and viewing money in a completely different way from running an economy. He will be just as much a failure as his 4 predecessors.

Jeremy Hunt is the Chancellor

So after that article in the New Statesman saying that the Remainers have to fix Brexit, now we're being told that a bunch (mainly?) economically inactive posters on GN are the contributing to Moody having downgraded the credit rating.

It's like living in "Alice through the Looking Glass" some days.

And as for talking about "aliens", I don't know what to say about that.

I think that the Moody's assessors are perfectly capable of judging whether or not a county's economy is tanking without having to check out Gnet.
I think they prefer to use data.

And as for talking about "aliens", I don't know what to say about that.

Time for the foil helmets, I think, volver...

No one heard of the self fulfilling prophecy?

Of course.

Everybody is sitting about thinking this country is s*** and that's why we are going down the plughole, of course it is.

Nothing to do with 12 years of incompetent governments.

A bit of positive thinking, that's what we need.

We are a global power, we are a global power...

Well, I'm not going to start lying about the truly appalling state of the UK in order to keep your party in government.

The quadrupeds in the fields around me aren't unicorns and the uplands are very wet and muddy.

This is just window-dressing. What should be happening is good solid consultations with all the stake-holders - behind the scenes.

Until this government even begin to understand that some services are simply not suited to the competition dogma, we will be stuck with this fragmented understaffed NHS....... and crap transport services, and a struggling education system etc. etc.

I did not vote in the last election

Volver we are not economically inactive

Perhaps improvement could be made by tackling it from the other end. Doctors take at least 7 years to train, but already trained ones are leaving the NHS. Nurses also take a long time to train, and trained ones are leaving the NHS.
Patients who need to leave hospital and into care are blocking beds.
Carers need training but not for as long as doctors, nurses.
Give carers on-the-job training (paying them!) under supervision, so that the problem of bed blocking can be lessened. Pay them a decent amount for the incredibly important work they do.
Pay nurses a decent amount and don't charge them for training or parking; maybe fewer would leave, maybe some (already trained) would come back, if the pressures on them are reduced by reducing bed blocking.
Perhaps it could be called 'trickle-up' !

I am.

And anybody who didn't vote, isn't a very responsible citizen, are they?

Or maybe they're an alien.

I am allowed as a responsible citizen not to engage in the debacle of the current political system.
I am also allowed to point out that Rishi Sunak deserves a chance.

How do we think we ended up in this debacle?

Because people didn't care enough to vote or thought that voting was a waste of time. If you have abdicated responsibility for all that's going on, that's not a sustainable position. Its probably not the done thing to ask people why they didn't vote, but I'd love to know.

You are of course entitled to your opinion.

Sunak isn't starting from scratch. He was the Chancellor for several years. He can't abdicate responsibility either.

Volver the old two party system of Tory v Labour is so last century. I would much prefer some less punch bag approach. Proportional representation?

Proportional representation?

We have that where I live. Not a two party system either. Used to never be any point in voting anything but Labour. We fixed that, by voting for somebody else. Not by complaining how hard it was to change.

So you don’t live in the Uk? Interesting…

Yes I do. 🤣

Are you saying that you would prefer a return to FPTP for electing the Scottish Parliament volver?

No, absolutely not. Not sure why you would think that what I have said implies that?
