You'll never believe it.

The Daily Telegraph is shocked, shocked you hear, to find that health prospects are getting worse and that the NHS is failing us all. It has just discovered that NHS progress is “in decline for the first time in 50 years”.

What a shocking indictment of 2 months of Labour rule. How can the heartless Labour bastards have destroyed our beloved NHS in such a short time? They must have under-invested massively, failed to spend enough, driven people out of the industry with terrible pay and conditions, not trained enough doctors nurses and midwifes, and been asleep at the wheel, impervious to the disastrous consequences for millions of people.

Amazing, is it not, that none of this was spotted during 14 years of austerity and mismanagement. That billions was syphoned off the health budget by fraud and crime during covid, that our death rate from the epidemic was much higher than it should have been because of cuts and that the Tories were warned again and again that the nations health was getting worse not better as a result. And now the Telegraph notices.

Still I know one thing, the answer is not more spending and higher taxes, no way, never.

The answer is more cuts, more austerity, more cruelty and pain, and obviously tax cuts for the rich. Either that or this is the proof that the NHS doesn’t work and will have to go.

We tried our best but it just doesn’t work, we cannot afford it and private medicine is wonderful and the way ahead.

Yes that must be it. It is almost as if someone deliberately ran down the NHS in order to make that look like a more attractive option.

So just remember, if anyone fights tax rises or demands tax cuts, ask them how they will fund the NHS properly and pay attention to their answer, because they mean it.
