Let's examine the governments legitimate aims regarding the NHS.
Clearly a pluralistic future funding stream is needed with working hours reform, of key staffing groups.
The state needs to shrink its commitment and act as a facilitator for the drive of entrepreneurial involvement.

However, Andrew has not read the developing tone music of Mr Hunts involvement.

A minister who becomes THE STORY of the dispute, inducing a visceral negative response from the junior doctors has to leave office.

It's clear he has felt compelled to be "muscular" , and has perhaps failed to be persuasive for our natural supporters.

In other words, he has become a toxic brand, and needs to hand the reigns over.

The litmus test is whether he remains an electoral liability, and can get the job done.
The time for a fresh conciliatory but subtle approach is needed.
