Hain resurrected

Ignore my last post.

The Western Mail website is reporting that Peter Hain will make a speech this evening in which he will say that a Conservative government will “take Britain back to the days of patients dying on trolleys stuck in hospital corridors”.

Quite apart from being untrue, scaremongering baloney (the Conservatives have made a point of promising to protect the NHS budget), this is very puerile stuff that will probably dismay even Peter’s own supporters.  The “stuck on a trolley” image is one that has haunted the NHS under Labour, as voters are only too aware, and I can’t think  that Labour strategists would want voters to be reminded of it.

So it would appear that Peter’s temporary absence hasn’t taught him any lessons at all.

Leopard. Spots.
