The Labour leader who welcomed private health care providers into the NHS. He took forward Thatcher’s policies on this. Watch the programme for more details. He won three consecutive elections by being conservative lite.
However, what about the situation now with the NHS? Are we happy with the way it is going?

The only Labour leader to win an election in over 50 years

Blair the wolf in sheep's clothing.
Blair was the death of Labour.
He was never Labour....he just pretended.

I do wish people would remember that Tony Blair, Labour, was doing this 13 years ago

This programme is mentioned on another thread but I think it needs one of its own. I have just watched it and I am shocked at the content. Please watch it and form your own opinions about what is happening to the NHS. I am off to email my new MP for a starter to express my concerns. I do not want this creeping privatisation to continue to the stage where we find we are adopting an American model of health care and it is too late to do anything about it.
