There are regularly scandals involving au pairs being used as slave labor around these parts, being kept prisoner, and even sexually abused. A lot of the time the au pairs are young women from east asian and eastern european nations, and fat white gammons love it. Au pairing may have at one point been a good thing but nowadays it's almost always about gross exploitation of the vulnerable.

There's no centrist in the UK with any sliver of competence or charisma. There'll be a conveyor belt of nondescript centrist noodles failing as New Labour leader.

The UK's political landscape isn't for centrists any more. The young are increasingly hard(ish) left and the old are Enoch Powellists.

edit The middle aged are also Enoch Powellists

The Labour right have the fundamental problem that they can't grasp that New Labour failed on its own merits. None of them can ever answer the question about why Labour got smashed in 2010 if Blairism/Brownism is so great.

quote:

The shadow health secretary, Jonathan Ashworth, said that reducing the role of privatisation in the NHS was very important, but that the reforms must also improve patient outcomes and reduce waiting times for treatment.

�The Lansley changes were disastrous � and we pleaded with the government at the time not to do this, so it doesn�t surprise me that now they�ve now come along and said we recognise those changes were counterproductive,� he said.

He questioned, however, whether now was the right moment to restructure the NHS as it grappled with unprecedented pressure from the coronavirus pandemic.

�NHS staff are feeling ground down. Is this really the time for another structural reorganisation? And fundamentally what is the aim of these reforms?� he asked.

� This is a big task, and if government is going to embark upon this, it has to be clear what their destination is. Are these reforms going to improve outcomes for patients? That�s the standard by which they will be judged.�

A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Social Care said it was �rightly considering where changes need to be made to help us build back better� and that the �full details will be set out in due course�.

It's also a conspiracy nut trigger because they think build back better is connected to agenda21 and klaus schwab and vaccines and bill gates and the New World Order and people killing babies for adrenochrome, etc.

namesake: Jun 19, 2006; "When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

A more accurate reading of the proposal is a more top down control of healthcare rather than ending privatisation. Rather that the fragmented tendering process that the 2012 reform made integral to the NHS there's going to be fully integrated all service providers closer to US insurance companies running the services in the area but no necessity to keep any part of it publicly owned and still little to no democratic accountability depending on how the local authority is involved in its running.

What we're seeing is the slow death of neoliberalism - the Tories no longer want the market to determine everything, but are taking their cues from Chinese state capitalism instead (which incidentally allows for bonkers levels of corruption)

V. Illych L.: Apr 11, 2008; ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

as far as i can tell, namesake is right - this seems to be a centralisation of private tender rather than a deprivatisation, with the presumed goal of making it easier to throw vast sums of money at old school chums

it does seem easier to rescind the privatisation from that position, though, so lol

re: au pairs, it's an arrangement from a different time. the point of it was originally to give middle-class kids an opportunity to live in another country and get some cultural immersion + contacts in that country. of course, as the project has expanded it's drifted more and more towards dirt-cheap servant labour totally dependent on the whims of some rich person

probably the most famous au pair that i can think of is french-norwegian politician and corruption investigator eva joly, who brought down ELF. in a globalised, hypercapitalist world, most au pairs are racialised Others who often need some way to offer remittances in a foreign currency. it's a broken arrangement and should absolutely be abolished

They exist, I remember my dad telling me about the distinction between a Brownite and Blairite and its a very feirce rivalry in the labour right lol

That will also be a point of fracture for the PLP going forward. Both sides arguing kieth is too browny or Blairy and needs to swap to the other

"Build back better" has been rolled out a fair bit the last few months, I honestly have no idea if it means the democratic party machine are working with Labour or if they're just lazy fucks.
