Health reforms and the East Hull Labour memory hole

After a lengthy twitter debate with Hull East MP Karl Turner over government health reforms I feel I have to ask the question.Does East Hull Labour Party have a memory wiping device? I ask, because both this MP, and his predecessor John Prescott seem to have forgotten previous Labour government policy.

For JP it was the reforms to NHS direct that he seemed to forget were A) in the Labour manifesto and b) the cuts he was campaigning against we're in the last Labour budgets.

For Karl, I'll give a bit of leeway as he wasn't a Labour MP at the time but he rather doesn't know or doesn't care that all primary care services in Hull could be outsourced this year thanks to........a decision taken back in 2007 when Hull West MP Alan Johnson was was the health secretary and his then Parliamentary agent was chair of the local PCT.

In short all primary care in Hull was hived off to a social enterprise three years ago. This contract is up this year and if they are not providing value for money full competition kicks in.....I'm sure if this happens Karl will be quick to condemn wicked Labour privatisation

Karl's response when I asked him about this was to keep typing NHS great under Labour, wicked Tories and asking to debate any other topic but this one. It was the Twitter equivalent of putting fingers in your ears and going lalalalalalalalalalal I can't hear you so this doesn't exist. Bless

As for my view on the health reforms they are a curates egg
