Great piece, but disheartening to know that so many cannot disentangle the disfunction of the current party in power from the irreparable disfunction of the NHS. Will a few years of Labour disabuse them of this leaning? I suspect not.
The funny thing is, I think both major parties privately know that big reforms are needed; but the Conservative Party is politically incapable of carrying out those reforms because so many voters are paranoid about their true intentions.
Well, by 2025 they won't be in power any more, and if the Labour Party is smart it will probably push through similar reforms, because it will actually be trusted on the issue to act in the public interest.
A typically brilliant piece from Mr Snowden. Thanks! I noticed that with the recent call to bring back masking, the government is attempting to shift some of the blame for the failing NHS, from themselves, to the patients who use it, in other words, us. I wrote about it here. I hope you don’t mind me posting this link Chris.

Not a chance. Everything will always be the fault of the evil Tories, whether it's a missed bus or some bad weather.
