Just as reminder, the self serving idiot above wants to replace this man…
If that happens it’s the death of the NHS.

She’s a dreadful idiot … Talk Talk should have been enough for her never to get a decent job again !
The woman who rolled out the vaccination program would be a better choice.

Yes, though she’s not a Public Health type, she’s investment banker isn’t she?. I think her success in the vaccine procurement was due to her effectiveness not her relevant knowledge.

According to Wikipedia, Kate Bingham is a venture capitalist and wife of Jesse Norman, Financial Secretary to the Treasury in the administration of Boris Johnson.
Yes, a highly effective woman. Unlike the insider failure Dido Harding.

I guess this is a real risk…
Harding’s husband is a member of the 1828 group which has called for the NHS to be replaced by an insurance based system (because that works so well in the US, I presume).
There’s an element of joint the dots here but I think John is right - the appointment of Harding would be the biggest existential threat to the NHS in it’s 73 year history.

Even Boris might have to think again after the Amersham election debacle.
That implies he’s had to think… at least once

Most of us can think, its what the results, or not, that we end up with that count.
Very good Paul.
I’ve long pondered the ability of “the establishment” to turn military disasters into “wins”. I don’t know if it is a purely British skill because I don’t know other countries history well enough to judge, but British examples abound. For example, Dunkirk, the charge of the Light Brigade, Isandlwana/Rork’s Drift (bolstered by 11VCs), Arnhem, etc.
I’m all for keeping up public moral but it surely doesn’t hold the top brass to account, and I guess we are just seeing the same in politics these days. Lies and spin turn incompetents (e.g. Matt Hancock) into heroes.
