101 Things You Should Know About the UK Tory Government

Thing 76

In Thing 67 I quoted Jeremy Corbyn who had written about the Tory plan to destroy the NHS.

“How to destroy the NHS:

Step 1.  Run it into the ground with austerity

Step 2.   Exploit the crisis to empower the private sector

Step 3. Abolish the principle of universal health care."  (Corbyn:Twitter: 03/01/2)

I then gave some examples of how Steps1 and 2 were already being implemented but stated that we had not yet reached Step 3.

“No politician has yet come forward to openly advocate the abolition of the principle of universal health care, free at the point of use. We will have to wait and see if Corbyn is the dangerous socialist portrayed by the right-wing press, or a man with more forward vision than all of the Tory Party put together.”

This position has now changed. The senior Tory politician Sajid Javid is today calling for a two-tiered  system, where the better off pay for NHS treatment, thereby ending the principle of treatment free at the point of use.

“Patients should be charged for visits to the doctor and to accident and emergency, Savid Javid has said, with the Conservative former health secretary labelling the current NHS system as “unsustainable” (LBC: 21/01.23)

Mr Corbyn has been proved right after all!

So the whole “free at the point of use” thing is going out the window then?

Good to know.

One of you should do like a ranking of cabinet resignations this year. Just for the hell of it (though maybe just a top ten).

i don't know if i can rank them all being as there were over 60 with boris johnson alone iirc... but i have to say my favourite flavour of resignation has to be when some random MP you have never heard of resigns as a trade envoy or as a junior minister and they feel the need to announce it even though everyone else is like 'i have literally never heard of you in my life'.

that being said, my favourite resignation this year has to be nadhim zahawi being appointed as chancellor only to resign 24 hours later using official treasury stationary

obviously the sajid javid/rishi sunak combo is something to be grateful for just for bringing down johnson.

javid in particular was funny like... the man who resigned in 2020 because he didn't agree with the government, only to rejoin that same government a year later and then resign because he didn't agree with... that same government

honourable mention to michael gove who, amongst the mass resignations in july, still managed to be the only minister to get sacked.

Heather Stewart, Jessica Elgot, and Aubrey Allegretti at The Guardian:

Conservative divisions were laid bare on Tuesday as a wide-open field of eight MPs made it through to the first round of the fractious contest to succeed Boris Johnson as prime minister.

Despite the 1922 Committee setting a threshold of 20 MPs to secure a place on the ballot paper, just three of the 11 declared candidates were eliminated on a frenetic day in Westminster.

Rishi Sunak is the frontrunner among MPs by some margin, with the publicly declared support of more than 40 colleagues, but it remains unclear who will join him in the final two.

Conservative MPs will vote on Wednesday, with any contender attracting fewer than 30 votes eliminated. Further rounds will follow until the field is narrowed to two, with Conservative members then making the final decision.

Sajid Javid, whose resignation helped precipitate Johnson’s demise, dropped out of the race shortly before the formal announcement of the candidates by 1922 Committee chair, Graham Brady, on Tuesday evening. The former health secretary did not immediately endorse any of his rivals.

Brady said eight candidates had met the threshold to proceed: Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman, Jeremy Hunt, Penny Mordaunt, Sunak, Liz Truss, Tom Tugendhat and Nadhim Zahawi.

Sunak, whose resignation alongside Javid set off the mass walkout that led to Johnson’s downfall, is a controversial figure in his party despite his staunch backing from MPs, and is blamed by many Tories for the rapid increase in the tax burden on his watch.

8 candidates have advanced to the first round of the contest to succeed Boris Johnson as party leader for the Tories: Rishi Sunak, Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman, Jeremy Hunt, Penny Mordaunt, Liz Truss, Tom Tugendhat, and Nadhim Zahawi.

The favorites are to succeed BoJo are Sunak, Mordaunt, and Truss.
