Rishi Sunak’s pledge to “fix the NHS once and for all” will remind us of his predecessor’s empty promises to fix social care “once and for all” after which the problems continued unabated. The only pledge that the Tories are truly committed to is the covert promise made to transfer as much government money as possible to big business through privatisation.

Sadly, Keir Starmer seems so terrified of a ruthless right-wing establishment, spearheaded by their media friends, that he dare not speak of reversing the privatisation juggernaut, even to protect his faithful electorate.
