Doesn't change the numbers in Parliament though, still a stalemate. The numbers are due to a dastardly election campaign in 2017, and that is the responsibility of Theresa May The 2017 manifesto was a lesson in how to lose your core vote in one easy step. Tories were over 20% ahead in the polls when the election was called, and seven weeks later lost their majority of 12.It was a disgraceful manifesto and campaign.

So going forward what could say Raab or BJ do? The EU have agreed her deal and will back Ireland all day long, and Parliament has said no to "no deal".

Those who chose May as leader are the ones responsible for her.......I can't remember who they are now.....but it just goes to show you just how removed the Tory parliamentary party are from their grass roots. One of the things I'll give to the Labour party is that Miliband changed the rules so that such a discordant relationship couldn't as easily exist. Instead of May deciding to change the Tories into 'Labour lite' on social policies she should have looked to make the election of the leader more democratic with the membership having a bigger say.

The worst I have ever seen. Labour were on their knees until the election.

A LEADING cancer specialist believes one in every 20 patients he treated as a consultant at London’s Royal Marsden Hospital was a health tourist.Dr Meirion Thomas said the number of health tourists was “grossly underrated” and estimated the true cost of ineligible foreign patients using the NHS to be £2 billion a year. A voice from the inside for you PP. Just maybe official figures are underestimated but of course, you agree with official figures when they meet with your agenda Good news the NHS has solved the health tourism issue. Bad news their solution is to ignore it.

The press got in and spun it more to mean Leadsome meant May can’t have children, which she can’t. I’d have wanted Leadsome for what is a term to just oversee Brexit, and even though she had little to no govt/ministerial experience, there’s been precious little of it anyway.

You'd have thought the Daily Mail would have sexed those numbers up a bit, or perhaps their readership tend to not look beyond the headline? Funny that because someone said 2bn yesterday !

On the subject of charging I cannot understand why nurses have to pay to be trained. As long as they pass and work in the NHS for say 5 years then I would cancel their tuition fees. We need to encourage more people into the system not the other way around.

It's not the point staff should not get to decide who gets free treatment this is a policy decision made by government and if the electorate don't like it they will vote for a party that opposes it. If we take this attitude to the extreme why should I pay my taxes? They think they are bing noble, yeah with other people's money.
