wow....what a shame, what the tories have done to our services is unforgivable
@shaun906 It wa te same when Labour was in Power they are both as bad. The NHS have been working flat out and weekends for 30 yrs.
@@ThePixey1000 Have you seen the chart of NHS waiting list numbers published in the Financial Times? Since 2010, the waiting list has increased from 2 million to nearly 8 million - and that trend was happening long before Covid.
@@Chocky-zv7sjyou don’t think this has anything to do with mass immigration?
@@Chocky-zv7sj they don't like facts getting in the way of a good story. tory supporters are living in la la land.
@@mr.thegreat557 they built the NHS? it was imigration that got it off the ground!
This shows how Labour has in the past and will again make things better. Never ever say politicians are all the same.
Always. It doesn't mean that right wing politics can't be effective, but certainly not the Tory version of small government and austerity.
Great comment. It gives me hope!
Dream on
The Tories inherited the number one performing health care system in the world fourteen year's ago It's now in tatters ....think about that when casting your vote ! I waited a year for a neurosurgery appointment having it cancelled 5 time's ...
Also think about why waiting times are so high today compared to back then. It's because of the amount of people who are living here now and Labour is as much to blame for that as the Tories.
Love the idea of seeing a family doctor who actually knows me. After 14 years of Tory goverment, that seems like an impossible dream.
After two decades of state forced mass immigration - Labour Policy - you’ve got no chance.
@@mr.thegreat557 im sorry, who's been in government for the past 14 years? what are you on about lmao
@@TrafficConeGD Labour opened the borders, Tory’s kept them open.
Both parties are the same but for some reason Labour voters can’t see it.
🤷🏻♂️
You do know the NHS in Wales, run by Labour, is just as bad? 😊
@@TrafficConeGDLabour started this irreversible rot with mass immigration. Too many people. Many getting the NHS benefits without ever having contributed. Labour also saddled the NHS with billions of debt in PFI contracts. The only way we get a better NHS is higher taxes and restricting treatment to Brits. It’s dishing out freebies to all and sundry that has ruined this country and that got even more out of hand with Labour.
As much as Labour has its faults the NHS has never been one of them
See Wales….
@@Bungle-UK Underfunded by the Tory government. 🤷♂️
Except Wes Streeting wants to sell off the NHS to his billionaire pals
Please don't privatise the NHS.
Labour never privatise public services. They create them.
They're full of it. I can't get a reply to make an appointment. You have to ring at 8 am. All appointments are gone by 8:10 am.
So much better back then
Wes is brilliant, he's going to make a fantastic health secretary. Keir made a really smart choice appointing him.
That's great and wonderful!
"Wes Streeting has said that it would be a “betrayal” of working-class people not to farm out more NHS services to the private sector."
Yes because at this stage we have no other choice, we have to use the parts of the NHS that have already been sold off and bring in more private help too while also increasing funding for the rest of the NHS and improving wages for staff, in order to get the waiting lists down. I don't like it either but there's simply no other way, the cost and time it would take to renationalise is just too high. Meanwhile countless thousands are dying because their condition worsens or progresses to untreatable while they are stuck on waiting lists.
In summary getting the waiting lists down is priority number one, while taking back our NHS is a longer term project. I just hope labour get enough time in power to really turn things around again like they usually do.
In the short term to clear the backlog as there isn't the capacity in the NHS. If we didn't then more people would be waiting for longer. Not really the biggest fan of Streeting but there is a reason to use private capacity in the short term. I agree however that we need to stay on their case so that the long term solution is that the NHS would be taking on this capacity.
@@Totalinternalreflection I agree, same with the economy. it's going to be all hands on deck to catch up from 14 years of mismanagement.
And he is right, Labour think about the NHS. They do what's good for patients not what makes them feel good or cuts NHS funding.
He didn't SAY that ATall....He said, wealthier people can afford to pay privately for their treatment....but He was NOT prepared to see people who are unable to afford that route to be left waiting.....Therefore AS was done before when Last Labour government were in Power, He would get those treatments done MORE quickly by using any EXTRA Capacity He could get from Private Sector, alongside The NHS.....I'v been a Nurse and in Physiotherapist team in NHS since the 70's....I SAW the waiting lists come down to max 18 weeks prior This DESPICABLE government....Who Almost immediately allowed the lists to rise again. They are now SKY HIGH!
Haganah, however, was no moderate group, and is thought to have carried out the terrorist bombing of Jerusalem’s King David Hotel in 1946.
The transcript of Zetler’s interrogation revealed Lehi’s ties with the Nazis. “We will communicate with any military power ready to help with the establishment of the kingdom of Israel, even if it’s Germany,” Zetler is reported to have told the astonished interrogators. “The only condition is that we get weapons, so we can rebel against the English,” he added. “If Germany agrees to help us fight enemy number 1, the English, we’ll team up with it.” Zetler went on to say that Germany is “not an enemy of the Jews in Israel” and that Lehi would cooperate with the Nazis if it helped the underground “get this land,” meaning Palestine.
Zionists assaulted Livingston for telling the truth.
I don't even have a GP, moved to a new area, all the decent ones aren't taking new patients and the crap ones won't give you an appointment for neither love nor money. They'll literally wait until you're almost dying so you have to be carted off to A&E
Vote Green or independent!
hey Streeting why are you and other members being paid by private health lobbyists?
there needs to be absolutely no private sector involvement in the NHS
Why?
You realise Wes Streeting takes political bribes sorry "donations" from private health companies?
We’d like MP’s that don’t still live at their mum’s house.
I don't care where he lives
@@Al-Hunt-acrylic-painter I care immensely that an MP should have more life experience than a paper boy.
@@GSOHJM can you spell d.i.s.c.r.i.m.i.n.a.t.i.o.n?
@@Al-Hunt-acrylic-painter it’s not illegal. We discriminate all the time. For instance you’ll not get a job until you earn some qualifications.
@GSOHJM life experience isn't a qualification. Asking an employee to have certain grades isn't discrimination. You're not asking for qualifications, You're asking for the man to be as old as you.
Luke Akehurst, who lives in Oxford, has been selected by Labour to run in North Durham - a safe seat some 250 miles away. Akehurst, the director of the “We Believe in Israel” lobby group, has been a fierce defender of Israel’s military action in Gaza, insisting that it is neither “disproportionate” nor “genocide. I will not be voting Labour, will you
To be honest, as much as I see the genocide as you do, it won't effect my vote. I didn't see Israel or Palatine giving a concern about our last election. If anything, Israel would probably prefer a Tory government. No offence meant, just how I see it.
@@martywest6004 But you highlight the real problem so well. The world has chosen for 30 years to largely ignore the situation in Palestine / Israel and guess what it did not go away rather it's blown up to horrific levels in 2023. Surely the point of any politics is to try & improve all societies. If not, I really don’t see the point
This ignores the fact that you used to telephone incessantly at 0830 to get an un-engaged phone line in the hope of getting that appointment in 48hours.
That clip is misleading.
Streeting also ignores the fact that whenever possible a skilled nurse will see the patient freeing the GP up for more complex consultations. The NHS has moved forward.
Please Streeting stop this romantic twaddle and get real. We had enough bullshit from the Tories.
Vote Labour
i moved from wales to england. my teeth are in bad shape (mainly my fault for not brushing) and i cant get a dentist. labout please fix this. i want a dentist and fix my teeth in prime condition and hoping i dont spending anything
why even need appointments? Lived in Korea for 11 years.. never required to have an appointment to see a doctor or dentist. Never required to register and was never declined service either. NHS system is a joke.
Yes at the moment 'Because the tories have systematically underfunded the entire infrastructure of the NHS forcing it to use the private sector at extortionate prices simply to try and provide a service. So yes, the NHS is a joke and not fit for purpose. And rest assured - if the tories get back in they'll do their absolute best to privatise even further...!
Tories know exactly what they are doing - If we let them get away with it there won't be an NHS. And when that happens there's no going back...
We'll end up with an American insurance system where a simple blood test cost $700, Child Birth $30,000, knee op $18,000, Cancer Treatment $100,000 and on top of that you'll have to predict what illness you might be suffering for the year ahead and pay to cover it! Get it wrong and you'll heavily pay the price for your mistake...
Wes Streeting will fix the NHS crisis in England.
get Abbot out !!
They have a plan to privatise the NHS. Wes Streeting, sending patients to the streets
Streeting absolutely rigid at the prospect of selling off huge chunks of the NHS to US businesses that he probably already has shares in, look at those vacant career politicians eyes...
Streeting is an idiot, and completely missed or deliberately missed the questioners point.
NHS boards decreed that everyone had to get an appointment within 48hrs, but the Doctor’s Practices manipulated the figures to show that everyone was getting an appointment within that time period by not issuing non urgent appointments 3 or 4 days in advance.
As there were only ‘x’ amount of appointments available in the day and they would not issue appointments with more than 48 hrs notice, you could be trying for days on end to get an appointment within the next 48hr period and it therefore appeared in the statistics that everyone was getting an appointment within 48hrs.
Lies lies lies 🥱🥱🥱
This weasel is taking everything he can get from private health corporations (£175,000 currently); as if we can't put two and two together and determine where his loyalties lie! 🙄
I’m astonished more people don’t talk about this.
Can't wait for the next reaction video looking back at when the NHS wasn't privatised. I wouldn't trust this bloke with a box of plasters, let alone our NHS. Vote Green! 💚
Green didn't create NHS, Labour did! So u can continue to fool yourself with wasteful vote. Let us know when wake up from lala land.....
Bitterly disappointed how Labour have treated Diane Abbott, Starmer and the party should be deeply ashamed at her appalling treatment
You know she’s making a fuss because she has a book out, don’t you?
Vote workers party
No way
Stop being a hypocrite
I have to admire the barefaced temerity of whomever on the comms team thought… “You know what people really, deeply care about? Wes Streeting’s thoughts. Let’s make a UA-cam video where Wes Streeting talks about his thoughts while the camera pulls uncomfortably close to his soft fleshy face”.
I have always voted labour but the treatment of Jeremy and Diane is unacceptable. I will not be voting labour this time round.
You have finally seen the light come out of the darkness into the light Vote Conservative the Tory is superior!
Grow up
Wes looks like Sponge Bob Squarepants, I can't unsee it.
He doesn't
@@Al-Hunt-acrylic-painter Yeah, he does.
Can't wait for Labour to privatize the NHS 🙏😔 just what we need, private for profit investment in healthcare!!
Labour won't privatise it
@@Al-Hunt-acrylic-painter cope bro

Can't even comment

Wes Streeting doesn't fill me with any confidence that things are going to get better. An LGBT person throwing other LGBT people under the bus is an act of cowardice, they lost my vote.
And if people think the Labour Party are going to be any different you are delutional. If we want real change we need to get these two parties out and have the balls to vote for a third party. End this two incompetent party system this cannot carry on Labour Tories Labour Tories Labour Tories the british public are seesaw voters then expect change but dont have the courage to vote for change
Exactly. 🔥🔥🔥
Interesting. Which third party do you suggest we vote for?
That simply cannot and will not ever happen with a first pass the post election system. We need to vote in a party who will bring in proportional representation while still under the first past the post system and there's only one party that has any chance at power and is also likely to do that. So I'll be voting labour for a couple general elections then after that hopefully we have a fair voting system where third parties have a shot at actually winning.
the NHS waiting lists says different? best to worst under the tories. you can't be that deluded, you must be misinformed?
Diluded are you brainwashed working classes naive enough to believe Tory Farage. Its you who needs help im afraid...
Simple force people to pay for health insurance like they have to with there car. I cant stand people with this something for nothing attitude.
We pay into the system with our NI what a ridiculous comment.
Health insurance certainly works well in countries like the US if your rich. The NHS is one of the best things to be developed in this country
Americans' main reason for bankruptcy is the inability to pay medical bills.
@@kevindenyer428 Im sure any operation you may have you have already paid 10s of thousands to. not. The NHS should never have been introduced it only benefits the underclasses not respectable Tory people.
@@kevindenyer428 Privatise it now!
No
I kinda see his point, though; arbitrary targets doesn't necessarily deliver efficient care. You *must* see a Dr within 48hrs, ok, but what if I'm at work and can't take the time off?! People should have more freedom to choose their own care. Ok, I can't come into the surgery, so get someone to call me, if they can't help over the phone, make me an out of hrs appointment or something?
With respect you have totally mist the point.
After 18yrs of thatchers tory government from 1979-1997 the NHS was in a similar state as today. People waited two yrs for apps and were dying before seeing a consultant. When Labour won the 1997 election they rebuilt the NHS better than it had ever been. Where anyone could book a GP app on the day Guaranteed up to 48hrs. So if you (Sir/mad) were in need of immediate care you'd be seen Guaranteed!
That guy winging about how he couldn't get an app at his convenience im sure would be in far more despair if he needed immediate care but had to wait for some other inconsiderate healthy person took presidents.
So, taking account of how bad the tories left the NHS in the 90s to how Labour restored it in 2000s and how the tories have again destroyed it since. How would you prefer it to be?
A couple of hours ago, I left a comment that was critical of Labour. Imagine my complete lack of surprise when I come back and find out it's gone. Pathetic.
Having this man in charge of the NHS. Fills me with dread. LGBT Person who throws other LGBT people under the bus is not trustworthy. The NHS is a top priority
Privatise Plus
i don't see things getting better for our public services under this labour party.
You obviously don't remember how well they did last time
Vote in Reform. Labour is dangerous. UK need your help.
Lmao
Bless you, I really do feel sorry for you! Especially if you are a Naive working class person being brainwashed by Tory Farages Puppeteers. They care less about you than the people who see through them. Take care!
Unless you are the Puppeteer! Then I'm sure your glad they are too thick to see through you
And what's reforms policy to reduce waiting times?
What's reforms plans for the NHS?
Whats reforms plans for healthcare in the UK?
Haven't heard a single policy or plan.
All Reform prattle on about is immigration.
Oh sorry they want PR which is the only thing from Reform I agree on, but shock horrible, there's a massive movement within Labour to get PR.
Reform are a business NOT a political party. And they even more right wing than the Tories.
A vote for reform is a vote for Labour
