The next election:
"“I think the Conservatives are planning to lose the next general election,” Streeting says baldly. His evidence is the fact that the ruling party has capped the number of medical students, and thus of doctors who will qualify in six years or so — about the time a prospective Labour government would begin its campaign for re-election. “[The Tories have] concluded there’s no point recruiting medicine trainees because they’re not going to come into work until there’s a Labour government in place. I think that’s recklessly short sighted.”
As told to the Telegraph. |  |

It would be a good election to lose
John Mayor was supposed to lose his one but messed things up by winning |  |

It would sound like lunacy in normal circumstances, but it's exactly how these "people" operate isn't it? They have raided the country for decades and know the jig is probably up. They've spent this year blaming Labour for anything still after all.
I really hope we get reform of the voting system too, it'd be a massive vote winner for Labour to deliver that and mean they are much more likely to be involved in government.
The fact that Boris is treating us to the bill for his vanity projects and legal propaganda is final insult isn't it? |  |

Pretty depressing stuff all round.
“IF we do win the next election please don’t judge us on our performance across the entirety of our term because the stuff that is getting worse at the end of it will still be someone else fault.” |  | | |

I would gladly welcome a change of Government but whilst I have no faith in the Conservatives doing that much for the working classes I also have no faith in Keir Starmer and the Spice Girls. I do believe we have come to the point where something new is put in place that doesn't allow Ministers and MP's to in anyway profit from their jobs. But we know from the pandemic that chumlies were given contracts to supply PPE when there was cheaper and more effective people and companies available to provide items that were suitable for purpose instead of tons of wasted materials that has left the Country with massive debts along with fraud associated with the furlough scheme. |  | | |

Like Labour did with housing? Or regional, racial or age imbalances? Or productivity, wages, energy, the NHS and so on?
I think Streeting is projecting. |  |

Absolute poisoned chalice, an Everest of serious problems the toxic tories are leaving behind - they've done a Robert Maxwell job on the UK over the past 12 years. |  |

This is my fear; 40% of the public (and we know that's all it takes) are either dense enough or obtuse enough to blame it all on Labour despite those with a brain knowing who actually laid the groundwork for the s***show that the next few years are going to be. | | | |

It is a fairly straightforward thing to disprove, if you think he is lying.
It takes 5 years to complete a Medical degree, minimum. Any block on numbers now will cause a resulting shortage of Junior House Officers in 5 years, Senior House Officers in 6 and Registrars in 8+.
We have a system that requires Government's to make some long term decisions that they may not benefit from. All Government's, of any party, have to act in the national interest, not for party advantage or opportunism.
Anybody voting for the Parliament proroguing, lockdown partying, Contract bunging Tories is guilty of undermining this cornerstone of our democracy, and enabling this kind of toxic elevation of self-interest. | | | |

Difficult to tell how much it is a sabotage the opposition policy or simply typical Tory policy of destroy public services and open up private free market profiteering in its place.
The answer for Labour (or any party with power nearer the time) is to bring in measures to recruit and retain those leaving the profession because of the terms and conditions and to enable more qualified EU citizens and other foreign nationals to fill the gaps. This can be extended to most, if not all, public services. It is linked to why there is widespread threat of industrial action. There is a breaking point in all these services which the Government has been teetering towards for a long time. |  |

Yet all those things were better than now. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of better. The real enemy are those who’ve dragged the country to its lowest ebb and trashed our standards on the way down. |  |

Daft political thinking if that’s true. All labour would have to do is recruit from abroad in the short term and put in place a training drive that would reap results in one parliamentary term. | |

They were better before only because they’ve got even worse since.
And all of those areas were getting worse under Labour. They sowed a great many of the current seeds. | |

Factually correct, as illustrated in the NHS privatisation thread last week, but also, judging by the down votes, emotionally challenging. |  |

I really wish people wouldn’t hold on to their favoured narratives beyond reason and reality. Too many are just as bad as the GB News lot for dealing with the world as it is. | |
