Trying to surmise wot Labour "would have done" in this crisis is just mischievous. The CONTEXT of this situation is TEN YEARS of the Tories running down the health service, and as I indicated yesterday, several years of unpreparedness, neglecting the findings of studies and even ditching them part-through in their brexit obsession. Of course Labour wouldn't have done any better had they won the election: the measures to deal with a crisis such as this one simply weren't in place, and that is one hundred percent the fault of successive inept TORY administrations. You Tories are all so adept at reminding us about the "mess you inherited from Labour" ten years ago (conveniently forgetting, of course, that there had been two years of a GLOBAL financial meltdown), and most of you are still using that stupid excuse. So it's about time YOU admitted responsibility for the current shambles. If you really must surmise, how about surmising how well Labour would have done ten years ago, when no-one waited more than the 18-week target for their ops, when A&E departments were running well and not being shut down, when we had thousands more doctors and nurses and when patients even in benign times weren't queuing on trolleys in corridors. Now that WOULD be a fair way of looking at it.
