Nope. 
did they have any to begin with...Skinner told Hunt to wipe the smirk off his face today, it seems that's the only thing these lot are good at...smirking and looking smug whilst being completely useless 
Jim Naughtie got it spot on
Hunt got into a chauffeur driven car for 50 yards today rather than pass the doctors that are camped outside his office, yet they expect disabled people to go to work even if they can't walk and in some cases dying...makes me vomit

Why does this make me think of 'Two Jags'
(One prefers the more happening and new term wankspangle)
Alas! I suspect that the BMA will be unable to unseat the current administration.

I wasn't aware that they were Joe 
I was listening this morning to Hunt going on yet again about how the BMA are opposing a manifesto pledge that was voted for by the British public at the last General Election. I'd love to see a poll of Conservative voters asking:
1) Did you know what this policy entailed when you voted?
2) Do you support this policy now?
Very strange the government are blaming the BMA for the situation but are refusing anymore negotiations. Just imposing that contract.
I can't see where this dispute is going. Neither side willing to give an inch. I wonder what will happen when the first death, heaven forbid, is attributed to the dispute.........

the answer is quite simple Moonie... the end game for Hunt is privatisation and hope no one does blame the doctors for any deaths due to the strikes, once the contract goes through they will be far more...it's madness

Virgin Care, which has been handed contracts worth hundreds of millions of pounds to run more than 230 NHS and social care services, is one of at least 10 private health firms seeking state-funded contracts whose company structures include tax havens, it can be revealed.

He'll let it go until they dig theirselves in to the ground and then come back and say.....we can fix this by privatisation
Sprout posted:
so transparent it's laughable, he co-wrote this in 2005
Jeremy Hunt co-authored a policy pamphlet that called for the NHS to be replaced by an insurance system.
The 2005 policy book, called Direct Democracy: An Agenda For A New Model Party, was a collection of writings authored by a group of Tory MPs.
Amongst other ideas, the book contained a blueprint for replacing the NHS with an insurance market system â and called for the private sector to be brought in.
I was going to comment...unbelievable but.........
