The ECHR is driven by political agendas and over the years has far exceeded its intended bounds. We need to divorce ourselves from it and rethink human rights in the UK that strikes a better balance between individual and group/societal rights.

Will Liz or Rishi have the stomach to reform the NHS? Maintain the principle to have free access for all, when needed, but let's be open about how the best service is delivered and funded. I do not think it needs more overall funding, our per capita spend does not deliver the same levels of servie we see in Europe. Primary health care is failing and clogging up A&E. Hospital beds are blocked because of a lack of social care. We are woefully short of staff. Why should all Nurses have degrees? a big disincentive because they have to pay tuition fees. Why cant they be apprentice nurses and get paid whilst learning mainly on the job? Diagnosis is a mess, but could be easily improved. Lets stop treating the NHS as a sacred cow and political football, and get on with improving it
