I can agree with you about the baleful effects of Blair as you describe them, Vincent, but the Tory administrations since 2010 have underfunded the NHS year on year, and it is now in a parlous state. I speak as an unwilling frequent "customer" of the service over that whole period. In terms of getting to see my doctor, getting referred for hospital treatment, getting that treatment (or not), waits in A&E, etc., there is no comparison between the early 2010s and now. Tell me again at the end of this winter whether you still think Blair did as much harm as two Tory administrations...
