  1. If I had any money I’d bet one of those “certain functions” is health care.

    Honestly if you voted for these guys or Brexit you have helped shaft the people of this country.

    Good luck everyone.

  2. Healthcare was the first thing that sprung to mind.

    The sooner these cunts are shown the door, the better

  3. It always baffles me how this man got elected as mp. It baffles me even further that he’s been given power within government.

  4. Healthcare, education, public transport etc. Basically, if the poorest use it then it will be privatised at least partly.

  5. does he mean good governance, leadership, strategic planning are these the functions the government are no longer going to deliver. I thought they had already stopped those things.

  6. This greasy slime falling asleep on the job again slithering on the green bench without a sneer of consideration for his responsibilities.

    Man’s a poisonous creep.

  7. Lmao called it, these fuckers are going to try and privatize whitehall. Do to the civil service what they did to the health service and hand more and more functions out to private third-party contractors. We’ll spend more money for worse services, they’ll insist we’re spending more than ever so there can’t really be a problem etc. etc.

  8. When someone posts an article from the independent can we make it a rule that the text is posted as a comment, because the soft paywall is annoying.

  9. Prize? As in a reward? To have reduced services? You gonna reduce my taxes?

    The terrifying thing about Liz Truss is that she is the Jacon Rees-Mogg / Nadine Dories continuation.

    But labour can’t get itself elected – Reddit hard-lefties seem to hate labour as much as the Torys. Which is super stupid as they are actively keeping Tories in power by hating on Labour.

    The UK is by and large a centrist country. The centre is called the “Center” for a good reason. It’s full of compromise and pragmatism. Let Labour occupy that space and win.

  10. They told you your human rights, freedom of movement and employment rights were annoying red tape that had to go. Maybe nhs is a eu imposed piece of bureaucracy that needs to be stamped out too

  11. Vote for the tories go on uk adopt the US health care system /s

    Sigh fucking cunts being cunts fuck cunts sake

  12. Well yes, we could always start with the finance arm of the Cabinet Office – not the staff just some of the services they provide. I’m thinking particularly of that one that funds ministerial expenses for second homes, transport etc, and pays all their assistants to do their graft. Yes, let’s start with THAT service…

  13. The issue with this is that the U.K. is not paid well enough and taxed quite high already.

    If our wages were brought in line with the US for example, then his argument would have more substance.

    Edit: for clarity I do not agree with Mogg or privatisation of public services.

  14. This Draconian cunt promised the earth off the back of brexit, shit like this gets me so unbelievably irate.

    Occasionally I think about having ago and trying to run for office but quickly snap out of it because how could I stand a chance but shit like this really boils my piss

  15. I prefer to call Waitrose home protection service whenever a family of homeless young professionals breaks in to steal my stores of potable water and antibiotics. Costs a bit more, but they use this lovely lavender scented cleaning solution that keeps blood from staining the floorboards.

  16. Jacob Rees-Mogg should fuck off back to the 18th Century where he belongs

    The absolute CUNT

  17. Anyone living in Britain who is not yet incensed that the current Tories have essentially created the initial conditions for the next Tory government to return the UK to a pre-modern or “feudal” economy is either an idiot, or thinks they stand to gain from such an economy.

    Here’s the skinny: if you’re not already independently wealthy/don’t have to work for a living, you’re fucked. Even if you earn £60k selling cars, have a house in Chingford (with a mortgage), go on holiday to Marbs, and got a Rolex for your 40th birthday, you’re fucked. Everything you think about your life that makes you vote Tory is going to be stripped away from you and your family over the next ten years. You haven’t made it; you never got close. But they thank you for your vote.

  18. Surprise, surprise.

    Those of us who said all along that certain “government functions” (such as the NHS) were the real prize that the money-brokers behind the Tories were after, were called “scare mongers” and “project fear”.

    *Everything* that “project fear” predicted (and more) is coming to pass. Still, I guess you couldn’t say that the British people weren’t warned. Some of us warned and warned until we were blue in the face.

  19. I guarantee these functions would be replace by private companies that he and his cronies have significant investments in.

    They are taking our money shamelessly and people actually vote for them still.
