National News Sir Keir Starmer

Educate me, is it just the NHS that doesn’t Ed understand the need to work within a budget or is the need to & actually working to a budget different.
If most people understand working within a budget how come personal debt is 119 billion excluding mortgages.
We went into the pandemic with thousands of Nursing jobs infilled; the NHS management were clearly doing their best to work within a budget. People can make their own minds up about ‘realistic’ budgets and what they would prioritise. You can probably console yourself with the inevitable privatisation of the NHS and the potential of making a few bob on the Stock Market. Good luck with that.

36000 nurses positions at the moment & can’t see what amounts to a .7% pay cut won’t help.
 
Why can’t people accept there’s no money left!! (Unless it’s to pay a political party for their allegiance, pay for a now pointless rail project, award friends and donors extortionate private contracts).

The lack of funding and slow death of public services while private contracts are awarded is entirely planned

How come it's just "numbers in a spreadsheet" when it suits your argument?

Because said "budget"is just a pile of numbers sent from above.
If we get sent/budgeted £100 million then spend £150 million life just goes on, some folk get told off.... the spreadsheet adjusts....

And then, every now and again, the whole thing collapses.

And a lot of people's lives are ruined.
 
But what are your views?

Nothing to comment?

Very odd, as you would normally be scathing at such an article.
Nah, the left hand gang will ignore it and hope it goes away just like they did with anti semitism in the Labour Party. I remember when the Labour Party used to represent the working class, now it doesnt even represent its own employees.
