Comes down to 2 in the end though. That's why Bozza allegedly being ahead means nothing. Those currently voting for other candidates may well not back him when their first option is eliminated. Oily snake Gove will triumph, the rest will be left with knives in their backs.

Wonder what he's been offered, guess we'll find out when he endorses someone

That's the gamble, I see donny has been interfering in the process, surprised there's not been more of an outcry on here like when obama threatened us with the back of the queue, their silence so far has been deafening, hypocrites

Let us hope it is not Jeremy Hunt.


That guy has done more damage to the NHS than anyone else.

And yet he still thinks he is doing a grand job.

I find it hard to believe these days that there's much difference between any of the candidates - but whoever does get in, s/he had bloody well better tell Trump to get utterly knotted re his absurd notion of privatising the NHS and lumbering us with an American-type health care system! It's a wonder Earth isn't going out of orbit owing to the Coriolis effect caused by Bevan spinning in his grave at near lightspeed!

They will do/say/promise whatever they need to get power.

I'm afraid if we want Brexit we will be begging the US for a deal. They will have the upper hand and can demand what they want, including access to the NHS. 'Promises' from any candidate can be safely ignored, they'll have for private healthcare for themselves anyway.

After 40-odd years of Labour continuously weaponising the NHS against the Tories I’m frankly astonished that any of you are so gullible as to still believe any of it.

Clue: the NHS has been under Tory control for most of its history. They have never privatised it or sold it off. It always has been, and remains, free at point of use.

Might not be up to us in future, might be up to the US. That's the point you seem to have missed old chap.

Err ... no ... my point is that claims like the one you’ve just made are self-evidently bat***** crazy and, frankly, beneath the level of debate I generally expect from most of the regular contributors on here (regardless of political leanings).

Labour and Conservatives are pretty much the same in that both are very culpable as to the current state of the NHS as both treat it constantly as a political football and both have had policies that were very much detrimental to the NHS for the last 40 years.

Having been a very regular patient in the NHS for the last 25 years l have noticed many changes including technical advances , new treatments and medicines that keep people living for longer but l have also noticed how much certain areas of the NHS have sadly deteriorated in the last 10 to 20 years.

The Problem is the NHS can't keep going like it is...more and more money needs to be put into it each year. I'm not saying sell the NHS off to the likes of Trump but I can see why some services are going private.
