This is the reason why we can never reform healthcare in the UK — or even have a sensible debate about it. The moment anyone suggests alternative/additional ways of funding health Labour rushes out privatisation smears and claims US private health insurance is being proposed. Labour has been doing it for decades. It explains why the NHS is effectively beyond reform. The two worst health systems in the rich world are in America and the UK. It’s why nobody has ever copied them. It would be mad to go from ours to theirs (or vice versa). But Europe is awash with health systems that can call on several sources of funds, including many with compulsory public health insurance schemes. They have better health outcomes than the NHS. They are free at the point of use (like the NHS). Most of them are better funded. But Labour puts them out of bounds, refuses even to discuss or consider. So patient care suffers. NHS struggles on. Labour is always telling us we need to get closer to Europe. It’s where we belong. But not when it comes to health, where it insists no lessons can be learned. Pretty pathetic, really.

£7,000 to fake being gay. Fake partners. Fake photos. Fake medical records. Nearly two thirds of these are approved 🤯 Anyone caught in this racket must face the consequences of being struck off and prosecuted.

All very well. But when it was the Tories having to deal with the hard-left resident doctors’ leaders, Labour pols like Wes Streeting said a deal could be reached if only the Tory government negotiated with them properly. So what’s the excuse for no deal now?

Hallelujah! He is risen! Wishing you and your family a Happy Easter from all of us at the Conservative Party.

BREAKING: A sensational new @LordAPolls Westminster poll has Conservatives tied in FIRST place with Reform and the Greens. This is the first poll to show Reform not in the lead this year: Cons: 21% (+1) Ref: 21% (-1) Grn: 21% (+2) Lab: 17% (-) LD: 9% (-2) Changes from 23 Feb dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

BBC News clearly has a death wish.

Reform have been caught lying about council tax…again. This is the truth behind their shocking running of Durham County Council.

Wrong, @TiceRichard. And one of your councillors resigned on live TV because of it.

I can’t stress this enough. Labour will take more of your money. Labour will raise your taxes. Don’t surrender your family's finances to Labour.

Watch this 👇💥 Here is the brilliant economist Liam Halligan laying waste to the idiots currently running our country. One day, Liam will help guide our economy and our poor country will be rescued from Socialism and be back in business. 🙏

Cut spending, cut tax, get moving.

We should all eat British food whenever we can. That’s why a Conservative government would change the rules so that our flag can only be displayed on food actually produced in Britain.🇬🇧

Last night we raised 5 concerns 1️⃣ The budget balances on paper, not in substance 2️⃣ Borrowing is above prudent levels 3️⃣ Savings rely on long-term optimism 4️⃣ Public land must achieve full value 5️⃣ Core services must come first Colchester deserves discipline transparency & focus

If @Keir_Starmer goes ahead and surrenders the Chagos Islands to Mauritius I would want @realDonaldTrump to annex them immediately…

Our Conservative team are the only ones holding this terrible Labour Government to account. And it is WORKING. Now, Labour has U-turned their efforts to delete vital court records. The same records that exposed the Grooming Gangs scandal. What is this…U-turn number 16?

@joerichlaw @Telegraph Think this attitude really shows there is something deeply corrupt about this deal. Why is Starmer digging his head in the sand? It can’t be because he doesn’t do U turns !!!
