He was always going to play the victim. Regardless of if the enquiry cleared him or not. Sunak’s letter to him accepting his resignation ain’t much better.

His resignation letter is absolutely dreadful.

Exactly what you’d expect a narcissistic bullying twat to say.

It’s always the same with these idiots when they get caught out. No apology and no contrition, just sorry he got caught. And in this case claiming that the threshold for bullying is being set too low. What a wanker.

He is it seems a perfect example of an entitled bully. I have worked with and represented people who have been victims of exactly that kind of behaviour

Wtf is Raab on about activist senior civil servants who work in a passive aggressive way blocking government policy.
I fear he means something completely different
I also fear we may have that with mr king.
As a minister you state your desire and work with the civil service to make it possible you don’t tell them or bully them into doing things they know won’t work you listen to their knowledge and experience
Worst form of bully who has no idea of how his actions affect others

Who is he?
Why is he involved?
What does he bring?
Why should we trust him?
I know you don’t think much of many of the players involved but like Raab and the civil servants just cause you’re the top dog doesn’t mean you don’t listen to those with the corporate history and knowledge

Don’t get me wrong he’s more successful than me in monetary and position terms

Who am I but I wasn’t impressed at the forum. Maybe you lot are getting under my middle class politeness at all cost exterior and I’m not willing to wait to be screwed before expecting the least modicum of honesty and transparency

Interesting that you generally spoke more highly of Seppala than King. I'm not sure what he's about yet but that's baffling, he'd really have to shit the bed to be worse than her.

Sorry don’t mean to come across like that. To be fair since I got to speak to her she’d taken a massive step back and allowed the football people to get on with the job of progressing the club without interference.

Was just annoyed at his dismissal on the question of a deal with the arena owner. As if it was pointless talking to us. It’s fine. Maybe my doubts will be broadly dispelled by what happens from now

I hear things though

Firstly: stop posting about football in off topic!

Seriously though I’ve heard similar things, it’ll all come down to if he progresses the club. If he does anything he does is justified, if not it’s not. That’s football really.

Nothing worth spilling, just grumbles that line up with what Pete is saying. I think King has ruffled a few feathers. If it works out we’ll all say it was the right move to shake things up. If not he’s an idiot who should have listened to the experience at the club. Such is leadership.

Yeah tbf I'd say certain elements of the club need their feathers ruffled.

One thing that you can’t argue Corbyn was wrong about

Boris Johnson and Donald Trump’s ‘Private’ Talks on Privatising the NHS Reveal Denials were Untrue

Boris Johnson and Donald Trump Privately Discussed Privatising the NHS according to a new biography of the former Prime Minister.
bylinetimes.com

We’ve got to get the Tories out at the next GE to save the NHS. Whatever you think of Starmer you need to vote for the party most likely to do get your sitting Tory MP out or keep your non Tory MP in. Even if that means voting for Starmers Labour candidate.

Labour is quite happy with the Tory model which is effectively a licensing of the NHS brand to any provider, Streeting and Starmer have said as much.

Their commitment to a balanced budget means that the NHS is doomed, unless they're going to raise the overall tax take significantly or cut spending elsewhere somehow.

I believe that their official policy is to reverse the tax cut on the additional 45% tax rate to pay for improvements in the NHS including training more nurses, doctors and health visitors. Front line at least they’re trying to make improvements and already have a plan to pay for it. I think you’re going to have to stretch a fair bit to say they plan to privatise the NHS rolling out a US style healthcare system provided by US healthcare providers which is clearly the road that the Tories want to go down. Make no mistake, Sunak is continuity Boris.

We already have an NHS model based on the American 'Accountable Care Partnership', it's been in the offing for a few years but has finally as of July last year come to fruition as the 'Integrated Care System (ICS)'. Each ICS is comprised of a number of healthcare providers in a geographic sub region and has a capitated budget. The system has to work within that budget which inevitably means work moving from the NHS providers to private ones or stopping altogether as the local system deems it too expensive to provide. These decisions on what services can be provided will differ from area to area which means that the idea of a national health service is gone.

To be fair to Streeting he said some broadly more encouraging things last week but I don't believe that fundamentally he's likely to change any of that underlying ICS infrastructure.

TBF Corbyn pledged to scrap the planned ICS scheme at the last GE. Now I think he lost the last GE on brexit, you don’t. On that basis you probably need to rethink your approach to ICS’s as it’s clearly not a vote winner to scrap it. Part of the reason that the NHS is struggling is because it can’t discharge patients back into the community because the care isn’t available in the community. Obviously this needs addressing. On that basis on the surface of it an ICS is an obvious solution. How you go about it is the crux of the problem. I don’t trust the Tories to deliver it as I’m sure you don’t either, Labour are not yet clear on their solution but throwing the baby out with the bath water probably isn’t going to be the best starting point. I would wait until you hear what they have to say about it would be my first peace of advice. My second piece of advice would be to judge it against what the Tories are doing already and pledging to do at the next GE. There’s zero point of judging against what Corbyn would have done, that ship has sailed. You need to be comparing eggs with eggs.
