I’m not praying anything. I’m just not ignoring the point being raised by Simon Stevens.

Which ignores the points being made by Simon Stevens. Perhaps we should just give the brexit campaign a free pass on the claim that was very much at the forefront of their campaign. Seems that the head of the NHS isn’t going to give him that free pass. Why should we? Whether you voted leave or...

So you’re saying that the brexit campaign lied about our excellent trade opportunities as well as the NHS windfall. I get ya.

Spending on the NHS always goes up regardless of being in the EU or not. The issue is that in real terms it never goes up enough and therefore is as good as a reduction. So to say it will go up after we leave the EU isn’t a prediction it’s a given. The question is will it go up by the...

Surely that cost will be offset by all the excellent trade deals that the country will be prospering on after we leave the EU?

We want our Brexit cash boost - NHS boss What’s the chances of this happening?

Tenth anniversary is tin, or should that be satin?

Eating. My eating habits are good, always chew with my mouth shut, don’t slurp, don’t lick the plate clean etc. But for reasons I can’t explain I’m a very noisy eater and it tends to annoy the people around me. It’s like my mouth is an echo chamber and I can’t do anything about it. Maybe I’ve...

I’m looking forward to JR26. The council changes bin collection days without proper scrutinisation.

I don’t know why people are panicking about the NHS for. After all we’ll be spending an extra £350M a day on it soon and once again we’ll have a health system the envy of the world. Yay brexit.

He’s anti Israel not anti Semitic.

I haven’t said he shouldn’t be suspended while an investigation is being undertaken. You haven’t asked me if he should. If you had I probably would have said he should. What are the rules that have been broken? Can’t say I know too much detail about Luxembourg but I know in Ireland they have...

I haven’t said he’s innocent of all charges at all. I don’t know either way same as you don’t. No one will know until a conclusion is reached from the investigation. If he’s found to have been guilty in assisting this I hope they throw the book at him and take measures to stop this happening. If...

You seem to be assuming that EU regulations have been broken here. If they haven’t then Junker hasn’t done anything wrong. The issue is then that EU countries are allowed to set themselves up as tax havens within the EU. How are you going to address that?

So once your investigation is up what action are you going to take to remedy this tax haven within the EU? I was taking an investigation as a done deal by the way, an investigation is just that, an investigation. It’s what you do to establish what you need to do. It’s what you do next with what...

You still didn’t answer the question. Third time lucky maybe. How else do you suggest that they stop countries like Luxembourg becoming tax havens within the EU? You were the one concerned about it let’s hear your suggestions as to how that can be addressed if not this way.

I’ll try again. You’ve spent the last few pages moaning about Luxembourg being a tax haven in the EU as a criticism of its former leader. A solution like harmonising minimum tax rates is suggested and you don’t like that either. How do you suggest the EU stop places like Luxembourg becoming tax...

You don’t think it would be a good idea to set a minimum level on Taxes across the EU to stop countries like Ireland, Luxembourg and The Netherlands allowing companies to take tax money out of other EU countries and avoid paying taxes in the country where they earn that money? Are you saying you...

Predicting the future and getting it wrong isn’t lying. Driving around with a factually misleading and inaccurate figure on the side of a bus is. Unless they’re so incompetent that they didn’t know the figure was £10M out as a gross figure and almost £100M out as a nett figure. Before you even...
