NOW DOCTORS ATTACK NHS REFORMS The British Medical Association has joined attacks on the Labour government and unelected NHS bureaucrats over their 'dogmatic' reforms and 'sledgehammer' tactics. The BMA is calling on the government to change tack and instead work with doctors for the benefit of the NHS. This new criticism, in June 2009, comes in the wake of health managers in Scarborough earlier downgrading services at Bridlington Hospital, despite massive public opposition to their plans from our MP, the public and local doctors. BROWN 'MUST GO'. Latest opinion polls show that a growing number of people are supporting calls by David Cameron for an early General Election. The support for an early poll comes after a banking whistleblower whose revelations forced the resignation of a senior Government adviser, has called for Prime Minister Gordon Brown to go for his part in creating the financial crisis. Paul Moore, who was sacked after raising concerns over excessive risk-taking at HBOS, said Mr Brown should be "held accountable for his failure to oversee the stability of the country". Following his explosive evidence to the Commons Treasury Committee last week, Mr Moore said he is planning to send the MPs a further dossier of 30 documents which will point the finger of blame for the bust at Mr Brown. So far, PM Brown has failed to even apologise for his part in the crisis.
'INCAPABILITY BROWN' - The Man Who Came to Dither. Gordon Brown has also come under fire from Labour peer Lord Desai who said: "Blair was like champagne and caviar, Brown is more like porridge or Haggis. He is very solid, very nourishing but not exciting. He was put on earth to show how good a Minister Tony Blair was" Gordon Brown has also been thrown on the back foot by gaffe-prone Chancellor Alaistair Darling admitting that Labour has to 'sharpen up its act' on the very day Brown himself was voted 'the most boring person in the country.' Darling has now partly back-tracked on his 10p Income tax rate hit, announcing a panic package of help.
* * * * * "No government can run businesses and create wealth. What governments can do is create the best possible conditions for wealth creation. So I believe the next Conservative government should set itself a simple economic objective: to make Britain the best place in the world to do business." David Cameron MP, Speech to the Centre for Policy Studies. |
