Rishi Sunak holds emergency talks with NHS

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.

Sunak was a Treasury Minister before he became Chancellor under Johnson a post he held for 2 years. Surely during that period he had the opportunity to get to work on the state of the economy. If he couldn't persuade the other Cabinet members if what was needed, I doubt he could do it now.

He was a hedge fund manager, very different to running a county. I recently finished a book called The Fear Index by Robert Harris which is about the founder/owner of a very successful hedge fund. Algorithms were used to play the financial markets. Trades are made within seconds, by computer. It's worth reading.

How is it that people keep suggesting re opening resources here when it's clear there are no staff?

I was trying to explain the non voting to my husband who said he remembered that at the time of the election, there was no one worth voting for. I think there are many people who are completely disappointed and disillusioned with the state of the economy here and the general political situation.

I know a bit about financial markets, although not very much, and I take your point about hedge funds. Apart from revolution, which is unlikely, what else can we do but sit it out?

It’s distressing to see the harmful effects on the younger generation in terms of housing affordablity, price instability and childcare costs too. Etc

That's interesting Casdon. I found another article about various Royal births at St Mary's though they were all in the private Lindo Wing which has exclusive facilities www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a23798094/lindo-wing-st-marys-hospital-facts-photos/
One hopes they don't need emergency treatment at the present time as they would doubtless be waiting on a trolley or in A&E for hours at most NHS hospitals.

I'm just thinking of the promises that have been made about the NHS by this government and wondering what is the point of them meeting anyone.
There was the money we were giving to the EU
The new hospitals they would open-40 were promised
50,000 new nurses were promised www.politicshome.com/news/article/boris-johnson-promises-50000-more-nurses-as-he-launches-tory-election-manifesto
And there's Rishi having crisis talks. How on earth did that happen?
