I'm not sure this is a very strong defence of how the Government has managed the NHS since then, though is it?

Or should I read this as a veiled appeal for Corbyn to return as the leader of the Opposition for another try? (In which case I'll take my leave.)

I'm not citing evidence for that I'm showing how both sides of the political divide won't dare touch the holy cow that is the NHS.

It's interesting how every time you show there's a problem with a political party everyone assumes instead of damning the system your trying to politically point score. I think the real change needs to be made in the civil service and certain powers striped from Whitehall but it'll never happen.

The fact that Blair helped privatise the NHS doesn't show anything about "both sides of the political divide". It just shows how right-wing Blair was.

Please stop viewing everything as a nail for your leftwing political hammer, it's not healthy in the long-term.

I'm not even making a moral judgement here. One of the key traits of right-wing politics is advocating the free market and private ownership. Privatising the NHS is not a left-wing policy.

Then I apologise
