NHS 'broken' says Starmer as report warns children's health facing deadly crisis
Sir Keir Starmer is blaming the Conservatives for a "broken NHS" and claims the Tories' NHS reforms are "unforgivable and "hopelessly misconceived".
The shocking findings on the deteriorating health of the nation's children are revealed in a study by leading cancer surgeon and former health minister Lord Darzi.
It is obvious enough that Labour's political policy is to blame the Tories for everything they know they can't improve. Not necessarily a smart policy because it restricts them to things they can't improve, but that's a vast political arena.
A blame the Tories strategy does have one big plus for Labour, as it allows the party to include climate change at some point. Eventually Ed Miliband may justify putting back the Net Zero 2030 target by claiming the Tories didn't do enough. Then Starmer will speak about "broken Net Zero".

And the decline continues.

The clearer identifying 'the blame' the easier the solution would be , no? Or is 'broken' Labour to be found blameworthy by the next Government? Wash, rinse, and repeat.
If it was that easy I'd expect Labour to have a blueprint for changing the NHS ready to go from Day 1. Unless their blueprint is to throw even bigger gobs of money at the NHS (without a care for the outcome). We already know that that doesn't work.
DJ - the NHS blueprint does seem to be even bigger gobs of money, for which they need even higher taxes. We already have the black hole propaganda, to prepare the way. Selling it via an unimaginative leader without charm or charisma isn't a good start.
Recent dealings with the NHS has revealed to me that the place seems to run on a sort of slow Pidgin English. Indian doctors discussing cases with Filipina radiographers and Estonian physios before passing the message to the Ghanaian manager to give to the Chinese receptionist to tell granny about her appointment isn't all that efficient, lovely though they all are. Language uses idioms, abbreviation, irony, and slang for a reason.
Sam - I have annual hospital appointments but don't see much of that. For some reason it's always fairly quiet, as if everyone including the staff are waiting for something to happen. It's just the area I go to perhaps.
