Regardless of your political persuasion. Please show your working.
e.g. I am considering who might be the least threat to a Labour challenge at the next election, as well as "the lesser of all evils" scenario until then, but am as of yet undecided. Whereas you, a staunch Tory, might have a favourite for the opposite reason.
Go. |  |

Hunt.
Shouldn't be Raab, Sunak, Rees-Mogg or any of the others who have been right at the heart of the government.
Hunt seems competent enough to fill in temporarily without being good enough to stop Labour. |  |

Hunt only seems 'competent enough' compared that current shower. He remains the second worst ever health secretary of my lifetime. | |

A surprising comment, because having very close contacts with Bury Hospital, I can remember how impressed the staff were with his knowledge of the trust and his understanding of their issues and problems - most were indeed followed up.
I guess you believe the last decent one was Andy Burnham!!
The West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (WSFT) was delighted to host a visit from the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care last week (26 April), to discuss patient safety in the NHS.
During his visit to the West Suffolk Hospital, the Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP commended staff for their efforts in achieving the Trust’s latest ‘outstanding’ rating from the Care Quality Commission, and highlighted the “fantastic work” undertaken on their learning from deaths programme.
After hearing about tools from electronic dashboards to new equipment and apps that WSFT is using to improve patient safety, Mr Hunt spoke candidly to staff about his own experience and journey of patient safety in the NHS. Mr Hunt discussed the role of the Care Quality Commission, performance, patient satisfaction, and the importance of listening to and acting on patient experiences, before taking questions from staff in the room.
Mr Hunt said: “I want to thank staff at West Suffolk Hospital for welcoming me so warmly.
“I was hugely impressed by their commitment to improving patient safety - in particular the push to ensure technology to benefit patients is used right across the Trust, whether through innovative apps or electronic records.
“It was fantastic to see the work they’re doing on the learning from deaths programme - setting an example for the rest of the NHS to follow.
“Staff should be rightly proud of the outstanding rating from the CQC - and the rest of the NHS should take note of their commitment to improve beyond outstanding to ‘world-leading’. Keep up the excellent work.”
The Secretary of State also praised leaders and staff alike for securing the top spot in the recent NHS Staff Survey 2017, where WSFT came top in the country against comparable trusts for staff recommending the Trust as a place to work or receive care.
He was then shown a demonstration of the Trust’s new vital signs monitors by nurse and nursing informatics lead Ian Coe; these machines measure a patient’s blood pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation and pulse and all other required parameters to enable immediate calculation of Early Warning Scores (EWS), which help to identify acutely unwell patients early. By scanning a barcode on the patient’s wrist, these readings are then placed directly into the patient’s electronic care record, reducing the risk of human error and saving time from data having to be inputted manually.
Chief executive Dr Stephen Dunn said: “It was a pleasure to welcome the Secretary of State to our Trust in order to hear about patient safety from a national perspective.
“In the NHS we’re all passionate about patient safety — it’s the bread and butter of what we do and why we’re here, and it was a fantastic opportunity to highlight the work we’re undertaking to continuously improve.” |  | | |

By the way - he is not my choice ( Hunt not Badger!) to be the next leader of the Tory party... | | | |

Best politically: Tom Tugendhat is probably the best of a bad bunch although he's a massive NIMBY which is disappointing. Penny Mordaunt seems relatively moderate which isn't saying much in this current Tory party. Shapps probably wouldn't do much damage because he's a bit of a non-entity but he probably won't even make the first ballot of MPs.
Best chance for Labour to win an election: Truss is David Brent mark 2. Sunak's campaign is terrible too. Braverman is clearly the lunatic candidate and would lose an election but her views are so awful I wouldn't want her to be in charge even only for a year or two.
I think Kemi Badenoch is the most interesting candidate. If she gets to the final 2 I can see her appealing to the members. |  |

Jacob Rees-Mogg. An outstanding candidate. He has a real grasp of the issues. Fine public speaker with the common touch and real empathy with the people. The endearing old stick insect even leaves touching little notes on desks for people. What a sense of humour.
I’m sure he’d have had a full grasp of the Brexit Select Committee I attended, if he’d bothered to read the briefing - which he clearly hadn’t.
Yep, he’s the man for me. Not least because it would see the end of this disgraceful shower for decades. If not him, haystack Nadine because the outcome would be the same. |  | | |

As a former employee of WSH, you are talking crap. The only people who were 'impressed' with him were the brown nosing senior management.
Ask anyone who was a junior doctor on his watch - he was the health secretary who instigated the catastrophic junior doctors contract which is in part responsible for dropping numbers of GPs.
Ask anyone in nurse recruitment and staffing(in particular) - he was the health secretary who allowed George Osborne to remove the student nurse bursary. He wa the health secretary who sat back and allowed his colleagues to demonise overseas workers and create a toxic working environment for EU healthcare workers.
Privatisation of services rocketed on his watch.
All with massive implications for quality of care and patient safety.
His concern for patient safety was invariably a front.
Nice, 'yes but Labour', at the end by the way, though.

Your claim to have 'contacts' at WSH would look a lot more credible if you hadn't just googled and copy-pasted a bit of PR guff, as well.

Boris Johnson. Labours best electoral asset. Actually I wouldn’t put it past Johnson to somehow try and hang on. As usual he’s playing for time and will hope that something happens that means he can stay on. Maybe. |  |

Of course I copied and pasted it. I remember the visit but Hunt did not give me a personal interview so why wouldn't I look it up?
That is so rich coming from a poster who along with others makes sure we are copied into very large swathes of The Guardian every day.
Must go, visiting The Angel later - hopefully they do non alcoholic (well 0.5%), ghost ship as my turn to drive... | | | |

Javid. Arguably has the best green credentials, and when it comes down to it, that's the thing the matters more than anything else. By a million miles.
Alternatively, whichever candidate ensures a LabLib coalition at the next election, and a real, no bullsh1t, honesty and integrity reset of politics. |  |

Absolute crackers. The reality of his tenure away for puff PR pieces is one of drastically dropping performance, record low funding increases, disinvestment in staff and staff training schemes and slight of hand of stats manipulation. Widely seen as a shocking Health Sec. |  |

Agreed. The presidential approach adopted by Johnson will simply be followed by whoever succeeds him (as all the candidates at some stage either ignored or openly encouraged it). Once your barrel of apples is rotten you need to do more than take out the top one, you need to throw the whole barrel away. | |
