This is why the NHS needs to become more efficient. The private sector can play a big part in making services work better.

The NHS cannot do that on their own. They have proved that over many years.

More efficient?? when there is nowhere near enough medical professional's on the wards now so much so that even the minimum safety standards are not being met in many hospitals in the UK thus putting patients lives more at risk.

Perhaps you need to visit a few hospitals where you might see the real reality of the private sector at work then you might think differently.

Trouble is, the Tories seem to be besotted with the US profit driven system, whilst Labour are wedded to the NHS.

If they looked at something like the German or French systems instead, change might be possible.

Ideological political dogma will never allow that to happen.

That's right, it's up to the Government to set the parameters, and if it is set up correctly, there would be a benefit for patients.

Nice to see the PM limiting her interviews with the media.:(

Although in the case of our PM a cardboard cut-out might answer the questions equally well.

A university Conservative society has been suspended after a photo appearing to show members sporting racist and anti-Semitic messages emerged.

Sadly just like the Labour party prejudice and racism is pretty endemic still in the Conservative party as well.:(

Looks like the Tory education ministers need to go back to school themselves.

Including parental funding of private fees in their claims for government education spending. Even more confusing, they include university fees paid by students, whilst this funding is technically repayable it should be separate from pre university education funding figures.

What I would say in the Conservative Party's defence is that they acted quickly with this bunch of undesirables.

No longer the party of business, the Conservative Party looks set to no longer be the party of sound finance.

Quote:

Theresa May’s pledge to end austerity, renew the NHS, freeze fuel duties and increase council house building has left the UK Treasury facing a hole in the public finances of up to £35bn-a-year by the end of the current Parliament.
Further fuel duty freezes in the years ahead could raise that cost to £40bn a year, leaving chancellor Philip Hammond with a big borrowing problem to solve in the Budget on October 29.
