UK needs new tax to save NHS and social care from collapse, says top Tory
A dramatic call for a new health and care tax has been made by a former Tory health minister, amid demands by MPs of all parties for Theresa May to act to save the NHS and the social care system from collapse.
Dr Dan Poulter, who stepped down from the Department of Health last year and now works both as an MP and as a part-time NHS doctor, said his experience inside hospitals had convinced him that radical, long-term funding solutions for the health and care sectors are “urgently required”.
Analysis The NHS secret is out. And local communities won't like it The government must now prepare for serious scrutiny and major political battles. They could be the least of its problems Read more He told the Observer: “On the hospital wards I often see people who are medically fit to go home, but who are forced to stay in hospital because of difficulties arranging their social care package or because of a lack of appropriate housing. Good healthcare cannot be delivered without properly funded social care.
“A long-term plan to ensure a properly funded and sustainable health and social care system is urgently required, and I believe a health and care tax – perhaps introduced through raising national insurance – offers one of the simplest ways forward.”
Poulter spoke out amid growing frustration about a lack of clarity in the government’s approach to social care and how to fund it, as the number of elderly people soars and pressures on hospital services mount. In the Tory manifesto last year, former prime minister David Cameron promised to introduce a cap of £72,000 on the care costs for each individual, after which the state would pay. But soon after polling day, he delayed the scheme’s introduction until 2020, because money was not available.

Why the fuck do Labour even want this? Music and Art are specialised degrees that have a low demand for labour. The fact that there are few job opportunities deters students from spending money to study in these areas. If more people studied shit like art and music, the cost of labour in those industries would plummet, and there would be tonnes of young people sitting on their asses doing fuck all and being a dead weight on the economy.
We should help students who want to study things like Maths, Engineering, Science, and Medicine, as we have a shortage of people in these positions, but we should punish workers who want degrees in gender studies and shit. The few jobs in those "industries" can be filled by immigrants anyway.

the only reason shit like gender studies exists at unis is because they have to make money by filling up with as many students as possible i.e. if there's a demand for that subject, they WILL offer that subject, regardless of whether the degree is worth anything.
If uni was free there would be less of an incentive to do this so you'd see fewer people taking gender studies and taking traditional humanities like history or English.

Newcastle upon-Tyne is NOT Newcastle under-Lyme. There are literally hundreds of places named Newcastle because it's what the ruling class liked to name their toys.
Newcastle under-Lyme, I admit, has gone to the dogs after the Muslims moved in to Hanley. But you will never find comfier flea markets or better floral gardens than Newcastle under-Lyme.

What are you on about? If uni was free there would be more people doing stupid degrees because it's FREE.
Since the tuition increase there has been a drop in people doing dumb degrees because it's a waste of money.

How many people take gender studies courses now with tuition fees going over £9K per year?

limit time on welfare to 2 years then if they don't find a way to support themselves in this time, they can live on the street for 2 years, if they haven't starved or died in some way after this time, they get shipped to the isle of man where they have to spend the rest of their days, unless they swim to England, in which case they can join the army.
Gavin Williams
It's understandable considering not many people will be likely to buy it.
Sadly I am not aware of any others.
It only does elections, not government terms as far as I know.
Students these days are too dim to take tuition fees into account.
I almost fell for the trap. A lifetime debt is not worth 4 years of non-employment for a worthless Hello.
It's also a lot easier to get into Uni now compared to when it was free.
You can literally sleep through a Gender Studies A-Level and come out with three A*s, just for your contribution to the destruction of the Patriarchy.

Was thinking of converting my house into a social care home. Three bedrooms, need to put in fire escapes, ramps and whatnot (cost a few thousand) and then pay a nurse to pop by and look after the renters (usually the mentally challenged or people who can't look after themselves anymore, dementia mainly).
Pays a lot more than renting and the NHS i crying out for social care spending. If i had the cash i would buy up a building and convert it into a small care home estate ward and have a 70's themed shop staffed by nurses with a bus stop, like they do in Japan.
Looking after the elderly is where the long term money is.

As far as I know, there are no A-Levels specifically for Gender Studies; but the equivalents are basically a rose by another name at this point.
Psychology, Modern History, English Language. All these are gateways to Social Justice degeneracy in University.
The only people who I knew take those at A-Level at my college were either fat, lesbian, tranny or all three...

Psychology is the worst one for it; in Sixth Form they insist on putting you through their reconditioning course to teach you that "All men are rapists and murderers; and women are always the victim, even if the rape claim is false: it signifies a rape culture and toxic patriarchal society!"
Also encourages sexual freedom and explorations into degenerate acts; very inappropriate for higher education imo.

I did English lit at A-level. Was always at odds with the teacher. She tried to demote my coursework from an A to a B because I sided with Hughes and said Plath was a spoiled princess with daddy issues. If you haven't done english then you don't know. All kids doing english at school, even at A-level are taught to analyse literature through a Marxist lense. When I asked her why we had to read the communist manifesto as part of a literature course she looked at me as if I was stupid. Its blatant indoctrination.
