….my daughter is an NHS Consultant and I also had a good chat with a London based nurse last week and they both mainly allude to the costly waste of uneccessary middle-managers. The nurse told me she has two office bound ‘sisters’ who are rarely seen from a clinical perspective and are basically report writers. My daughter tells of beurocratic managers taking all office space and naively managing clinical matters.

I wonder if Labour might try to address this. Maybe utilising Nightingale wards to free up beds and manage the transition to social care. Move uneccessary staff to directly manage that facility.

Tough task ahead.

It is very similar in the Armed Forces, in that it is 'top heavy' due to the amount of cuts that have occurred over the last 14 years.

In terms of numbers, there are probably enough to maintain a strong force, however, the recruitment is not happening fast enough and people leave once pension age kicks in due to the decline in pay, meaning there are far too many managers and not enough doers.

It is something that won't fix itself overnight but hopefully, the new government can look into sorting it.

Where did I say that? Love how you try and put words in my mouth.

I stated that both did wrong and her actions where one of a systematic issue where MP's where taking advantage of expense claims to the benefit of themselves. I am an accountant and know full well that accountants had to put these claims through as kosha, it could of easily been stopped.

If you want to start with my words how about going back to original post then. You called her a pervert did you not? Well it is common knowledge that the pornographic videos that where purchased where her husbands, and if you link that with being a pervert then sorry to say but almost everyone has to put under that bracket then don't they?

Anecdotally aren't labour supposed to be reluctant to prioritise or increase defence spending?

Supposedly, but I don’t think it’s about spending more money, I think it’s about distributing the staffing better.

I was in the RAF for 23 years (left last year) and it was much better during Labours reign than the Tories, despite what you read in the media about Labour not caring for Defence. Although, that was just my personal experience.

She admitted many years ago that disgraced politicians should not receive a peerage which included herself. It is telling that in these circumstances she has been appointed of all the possible candidates which suggests your cronyism point is null and void.

I position myself that you give opportunity for corruption to take place that someone or multiple individuals will take advantage. It is the argument that won Trump the election against Clinton she called him corrupt for paying less corporate tax then an illegal immigrant. He retort was Clinton was in power to stop the loopholes and you didn't and I was clever to use it for my gain.

Mate on you last line really? So you saying she is a pervert a current Education minister get a grip.

You haven't once answered any of my questions. You say cronyism when she is more than qualified. You call her a pervert when her husband orders porn.

Why don't just say. I don't like the women and find that her appointment to government bad judgment due to her previous scandals.

Think there's some socio economic issues with some areas, people want to live in places that have reliable and 'enough paying' work.
Every town and city needs it's brownfield sites surveyed, and then ownership scrutinised. Where there can be 'easy wins' re building, these areas need focus first. The creaking Victorian infrastructure of a lot of towns and cities also needs addressing, because just plonking another 25k houses into an area has it's consequences.

This is where the purposeful ignorance of long term planning starts to come into play.
