Not possible the NHS is screwed, Truss admitted as much. That's another promise I shall hold her to account for. Sorting the NHS.
Seems to me that the Tory hierachy have realised they are knackered. The circumstances, Ukraine and cost of living, continuing drag of brexit are all playing against the incumbent govt. So install a numpty while you look for an electable alternative.

NHS nurses to go on strike, they want inflation + 5%, which is 15% increase.

If they give in then everyone will want the same.

The country is heading for bankruptcy asap.

The NHS is doomed and in its current form will be dismantled before the next general election.

Certainly not. And I'll be at the front arguing against that. Private health is profit orientated and right now (with chronic shortage of supply of skills) is a blank cheque for private companies.
It isn't beyond the wit of man to provide medicine free at the point of delivery.
It's about political will.
Stick dismantling th NHS in your manifesto and watch your votes drain away.

EDIT: Sorry that sounds quite zealous. In fact, the NHS failed my father and then my mother, until we paid for a private consultant and Bingo! she was in hospital within an hour. Probably added a year to her life. But we shouldn't have needed to do that and so many people can't jump the queue.
Why not add resource and shorten the queue?
What's important in life? Water, food, shelter, energy. The rest is politiical choice.

Truss has it and will unveil a £100 billion support package.

My god, country will be broke for decades.

And the elephant in the room is “what happens next year, year after that, year after that”

After the next general election, Labour will inherit public finances shot to pieces.

52% of voters think Truss will make a poor/terrible PM and 65% say she's out of touch. :D

She's only been PM for 3 minutes and the nausea's already started.
