The ‘non Tories’ who helped accelerate the privatisation of the NHS

Liberal Democrats will never be an alternative to the Tories. Their worst excesses possibly, of which there are many, but as a party they have less principles than a feral cat.

Here was an opportunity to tell the government that future private deals to further undermine the NHS was an absolute no go. Instead they decided to leave the door open and enable the government to be victorious.

If I watch while another punches you on the nose and then say that in the future I may do it it comes across as effectively the same. The sword of Damocles permanently hovering.

@LibDems @joswinson Why did you abstain tonight on Labour's motion to protect the NHS from further privatisation?https://t.co/44BHYvukGo
You voted for Health & Social Care Act 2012 during Coalition so presumably you want privatisation to continue & expand? #JoSwinsonIsATory
