O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[Med Pie]

Yet another, sickening attack but yet another government, quick to release the information as to the ID of the attacker. This is in stark, contrast to the government you have in the UK, remember that young 'Welsh' lad we were told about?

Starmer is desperate for a win. Now he's claiming that the government target /promise of two hundred, extra, hospital appointments has been met.

Notable maybe but also notable is the fact that for a large portion of the same period last year, doctores were on strike so, I wonder how they compare to the same period from the year before?

He's basically claiming to to won a 100m race when he had a 50m start.

Wasn't Starmer the one who sorted the doctor's strike to get that 50m start?

The NHS is struggling! Let's shovel more billions into the sacred cow.

The British Medical Association (BMA) has come under fire for urging NHS consultants to charge at least ?250 per hour for overnight shifts.
"In the summer (2022) the BMA published a ?rate card? guide for NHS consultants in England on how much to charge their employers for non-contractual work.
It said consultants should charge a minimum of ?150 per hour for extra work on weekdays from 7am to 7pm, ?200 for 7pm to 11pm weekdays, and ?250 per overnight hour from 11pm to 7am.

Weekends from 7am to 11pm should be charged at ?200 per hour as a minimum.

Some NHS trust leaders have spoken anonymously to the Health Service Journal (HSJ), which first reported the story.

One trust chief executive, whose consultants had not asked for more money, said: ?The BMA appear to be operating like football agents and pushing up the rates based on their own egos rather than their members? wishes.? Unquote.

Whilst the doctors also want to impose restrictive practices to preserve their status and stop others doing work that they are well capable of doing for less money. Not exactly putting the patients first despite what they would claim.

They think that someone else's money solves all the problems. Fixed it for you.

Whilst driving up inflation with stupid pay rises, one of them to doctors.

NHS staff have ruined the system, none of them want to work full time because they know they can be paid twice as much by signing on as agency staff.

Undercut them, end the gravy train that allows this practise, let them go abroad if they want to, get doctors and nurses in from around the World as we always have.

If Starmer could resurrect the NHS and show that he'd done it through savvy use of the immigration system, the public may look a bit more favourably on him.
