NHS waiting list could hit 9 million in two years after Hunt offers no new money

Let's not forget, with FPTP and voter turnout, it's not half.

In the 2019 general election, they won 43% of the votes with 67% turnout, which, to be fair, was higher than Labour at 32% of the votes.

Brexit was 52% of votes with 72% turnout.

I wish we had a higher turnout and it's hard to justify that the will of the people is not met if they don't bother voting but guess I'm just saying, it's not true that it's over half of the country.

They are just piling on the bullshit, then labour will have to sort it out (assuming they're actually going to try), people will be annoyed after a year because "nothing has changed" and then vote Tories back into office. Rinse and repeat

That's what I do already at the moment, out of necessity

My American ass pays $25 to see a doctor.

Because the aim is to get to the point where they can say "The NHS clearly isn't working so we need to introduce American-style health insurance to pay for increased staffing levels and improved services. Entirely coincidentally, my wife runs a health insurance business."

Hunt literally co-wrote a book on how to turn the NHS into a US-style system, and members of his family are prominent in private healthcare.

Understand now?

To nudge things closer to a long-term goal of abolishing the NHS? The Tories tried to prevent the NHS being created and have regularly attacked it ever since…

Intentional defunding of the NHS as others have mentioned while providing a bribe to the people who don't notice that they are considerably worse off under this chancellor let alone the multitude of chancellors up to and including Osbourne.

Personally I was surprised that they didn't do some income tax shuffle instead so it could benefit pensioners as well.

Gotta buy some votes somehow.

The freeze in tax bands more than makes up for the cuts.
