In case this is of interest to anyone else on here, the government has published its “consultation” on how it will respond to the court decision it lost over age discrimination in public pensions:


Not read it fully yet, but it seems to be an attempt to claim discrimination that was identified once already doesn’t happen again if you move a date a bit further back.
 
Hang about, if this plays out as it reads, maybe a leopard can loose at few spots...


It probably won’t - the basic goal there is for ministers to have more control (not accountability ofc) over the NHS.

If they were going to use these new powers for good - to take over the PFI debt, to get rid of locally entered into outsourcing etc - then it would be great, but this lot are probably just taking it back into central control in order to prevent any complications when it’s offered up as part of the trade deal with the US.

Do have to wonder why choose this moment in the midst of pandemic, to announce such sweeping changes to the NHS. And of course the very same government is being hauled through the courts over it's procurement of PPE, which in some cases is damn right dangerous to staff and patient. And it wants to cut red tape, Mmmm!
 
Hang them all imo.
There are so many things that need discussing and addressing by parliament, and yet here we they are thinking they ought to be debating breakfast nutrition specifically. Commission a general report on nutrition by all means, but FFS...and as for Mogg, wtf does the ostentatious tw@ keep on bringing his nanny up at every opportunity?
