As prime minister, he would have a unique chance to turn the world’s most bureaucratic health service into its most innovative one, says former health secretary Jeremy Hunt

Fuck off Jeremy Cunt. You can't proselytise about what need be done when you were in the job for years that had the ability to do what needed done, and did nothing anywhere near the sort.

the longest-serving Health Secretary in British political history

He oversaw decreased spending as percentage of GDP on the National Health Service compared to the previous government and hugely increased waiting times for patients.[1] Healthcare costs always increase faster than GDP. He was criticised for controversial reforms, manipulating figures and increased privatisation. He implemented policies working towards a seven-day NHS and oversaw the imposition of a controversial new junior doctors' contract in England, after the failure of negotiations during a dispute in which junior doctors undertook industrial action.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
