Anne Milton didn't get the job after all bet you can't guess who got the NHS minister job after the "reshuffle"

May's "reshuffle" hasn't gone as planned as the Tory MP Anne Milton who is married to the director of Virgin Care was meant to get the job so you'll never guess who got the job in May's "Reshuffle" ...

...Jeremy Hunt. Great reshuffle!

The job was reportedly meant to go to Anne Milton but the conflict of interest must have changed Mays mind as Milton's husband is director of Virgin Care obviously May has only changed her mind because of Milton's conflict of interest was made public.

This doesn't change things though as Jeremy Hunt is still tearing apart our NHS and he literally wrote a book about dismantling our NHS years ago. 

'Direct Democracy: An Agenda For A New Model Party' called for the 'denationalisation' of the NHS.

Jeremy Hunt co-authored a policy pamphlet that called for the NHS to be replaced by an insurance system.

The 2005 policy book, called Direct Democracy: An Agenda For A New Model Party, was a collection of writings authored by a group of Tory MPs.

Why is anyone surprised about Jeremy Hunt destroying our NHS?

Amongst other ideas, the book contained a blueprint for replacing the NHS with an insurance market system – and called for the private sector to be brought in.

The book was presented as a whole and chapters are not marked with individual authors, however.

“We should fund patients, either through the tax system or by way of universal insurance, to purchase health care from the provider of their choice,” the book says on page 74.

It adds on page 78: “Our ambition should be to break down the barriers between private and public provision, in effect denationalising the provision of health care in Britain.”

Put together by Douglas Carswell, the book’s authors also included Tory MPs Michael Gove, Daniel Hannan, Greg Clark, David Gauke, and Kwasi Kwarteng.

The pamphlet briefly shot to fame in 2012, when Mr Hunt’s appointment as Health Secretary prompted Labour to highlight the book’s contents.

Then Shadow Health Secretary wrote a letter to Mr Hunt.

“Patients and staff will have serious concerns about these remarks and have a right to know whether you remain of this view,” he asked at the time.
