Any Tory supporters here?

What happened to this promise, since the NHS is currently on its knees?

If anyone truly believed that bus then they were rather suggestible.

The uk under the Tories has really suffered.
Imagine allowing and encouraging a referendum to leave the EU solely so that rich people could avoid paying some tax.
Imo Cameron, Farage, Johnson and Truss should all be in prison.

it was pretty sneaky the way it was worded but it never actually said that.

it was framed more like 'we currently spend this, but imagine if we freed up that money how it would help the NHS'. headline grabbing and misleading. applying any level of critical thought, it would be obvious they wouldn't just divert all that money from one place to another.

I don’t think the NHS is able to be ‘saved’ it is very badly run, seems obsessed with issues like trans and diversity instead of health. It can’t survive without patients having some sort of German, French, etc insurance. Free at the point of use is a cute idea but not workable in 2023

Where are you getting this impression? Which Trust do you work for?

I’m not a supporter of the government but this wasn’t ever a Tory promise. It was a promise of the leave campaign which contained some tories. It is a major flaw in referendums that campaigns can make promises/pledges but actually as each side is not part of an election manifesto they can say what they like. It is a shame our mainstream media didn’t focus more on that fact in 2016.
