The populists have got catchier slogans and the people who vote for them are morons.

"Stop the boats"

"Protect out children"

"Say no to europe".

Sigh.

As we know, Wes "use the spare capacity of the private sector" Streeting is totally opposed to privatisation by stealth.

A vote for Reform would gut NHS services.

A vote for the Greens might put NHS privatisation at risk, which would upset Streeting.

A vote for a party that includes Streeting will put the NHS at risk.
