Labour MP Justin Madders, the shadow health minister, said: “It is still staggering that under the Tories so many parts of the NHS are being packaged up and sold off to companies who are unable to run the services properly.

“Several hundreds of staff and thousands of patients are now faced with huge uncertainty because of the failings of another private ambulance firm, and it’s not the first time this has happened.”
Madders called for an inquiry into what went wrong, saying the government should place “an immediate halt” on issuing other patient transport contracts until “lessons have been learned”.

Though "2015 is where it started to go wrong" is certainly debatable - things were set in train some time before that.

Oh, I don't know. David Cameron didn't have to offer an EU referendum in his 2015 manifesto. He did so because he couldn't beat Ed Miliband without the Ukip vote. It was Cameron's weakness that made Brexit inevitable, even if the pressures (mostly from foreign billionaire newspaper owners) pushing for Brexit are more longstanding.

once we are off the lower bound should we be fiscalists like MMT or should we return to the Consensus Assignment?

CBI says Hammond's speech offered 'slim pickings' and 'weak on action'

Here is Carolyn Fairbairn, the CBI director general, on Philip Hammond’s speech.

The chancellor has given a passionate defence of free markets and the importance of business and government working to tackle inequality. That is necessary, but not sufficient.

The UK is facing a generation defining-challenge. A potent cocktail of Brexit uncertainty and dogma-driven politics on both left and right threatens jobs, investment and living standards. Now is not the time for half measures.

The speech shows a government strong on diagnosis, but weak on action. Businesses looking for clear vision and urgent delivery have been left with slim pickings. Renewing the UK’s creaking infrastructure will unlock regional growth and living standards, as will improving access to housing. But they are only parts of the puzzle.

It is time for honesty about the challenges we face. Our economy is under threat – it has moved from the top of the G7 to the bottom. Faltering consumer and business confidence risks lowering living standards. Rising inflation is putting pressure on households.

The solution must be for responsible business and government to grow our way out of austerity. But this can only happen with clarity, unity and action. Today’s speech was only one step in that direction.

This must be the most negative comment the CBI has issued about a party conference speech from a Conservative chancellor for years. (Politics Live, Guardian)

In all my 19 yrs of doing these gigs, that's the 1st Chancellor's party conf speech that hasn't been followed by a media briefing. Go figure
