l don't doubt that but don't give us the old ******** that the Conservatives don't have the same cynical approach to a good many things including the NHS.

Given my experiences in the last few decades neither is very good at running it as they play politics with it to suit their own political ends sadly.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
Good question.
I'm hearing that DD, BoJo and the Fox will keep their positions. Education and Transport may see some changes.
The Sunday Times says Greg Clark (business) and Andrea Leadsom are seen as “dead wood” by Downing Street so could be on the way out.
The FT says Mr K's drinking buddy Jeremy Hunt is tipped for promotion.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
I think if Hunt is moved from the NHS role it will be a start. There are many in the NHS who will celebrate his departure.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
A lot of the Parliamentary Tory Party like Hunt because they feel he has taken all the flack from the NHS troubles instead of them or the leadership of the party and that he is loyal to both Cameron and May. So it wouldn't a surprise to see him promoted.

I would be surprised. Both that he'll be offered one or accept it. I don't think anyone too much on the Brexit or Remain side will be offered one for fear of kicking off a fight. Rees-Mogg is also a rather 'interesting' figure that might draw too much focus both positive and negative....
In terms of new members of the cabinet I think it will consist of fresh faces from the 2010-2015 intake. The next generation etc.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
This does not sound good....
Tory MP Anne Milton is tipped to replace Jeremy Hunt as Health Secretary.
Her husband, Dr Graham Henderson, has connections to Richard Branson’s Virgin Care.

He is the darling amongst the Tory members so it would not surprise me if he was given a position.

If that is the case then that is cronyism at its very worse..

James Brokenshire resigns as Northern Ireland secretary for health reasons.

Lets hope he makes a full recovery from his illness.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
Looks like the Tories compertence has stuck again.
They sent out a WhatsApp message to all Tory MPs that Chris Grayling would be Party Chairman.
A Times Reporter also heard this this morning.
And the Conservative Twitter account tweeted this picture:
The problem? Chris Grayling has not been made Party Chairman (It's Brandon Lewis if anyone cares).

Good grief how can one make such a bungled incompetent mistake like that.
