The real world is working against Liz Truss over her healthcare shake up and fracking, Andrew Marr says
“There's a grand Illusion hanging over Westminster. You can't see it, or touch it or smell it," he said at the top of Thursday's Tonight with Andrew Marr on LBC.
“His Majesty’s ministers make the economic and political weather. Truth is, the outside world is stronger and harder by far, and politics has to bend to it. Example. This week we’re waiting for a great big optimistic shift in economics with the mini budget tomorrow. “Example - today we got the new Health Secretary’s Therese Coffey plan for the NHS. A government determined to slash taxes cannot of course find much new money for a health service already on its knees.
“But, given the constraints on the new Health Secretary there was no way today’s announcements could measure up to the scale of the problem – it's taking three times as long as it should for ambulances to get to heart attack and stroke victims, there’s not nearly enough staff, and almost one-in-eight of the population is on the waiting list for non urgent treatment.“Oh yes… and then the real world intervenes again- today we learned that hospital admissions for Covid are, rising once more.
