Much of Labour and certainly Streeting are addicted to taking cash from companies that wish benefits. I wonder whether he has a checklist for the (English) NHS? I suspect Sarwar would love to be in a position to take money from the same in relation to the SNHS.

@Wen I assume he’s worked out that if Starmer goes, he won’t be getting those connections and largesse anymore. Hence his sudden insincere support.
@Wen can't see any health company bothering to try and bribe Sarwar, he's completely useless and no-one would take any notice of his lobbying.
Streeting on the other hand, also completely useless, but pretty effective as a tool for the private sector.
@marjolica If he was FM they would….
@When The Scottish NHS has had a different approach, having bought Golden Jubilee in Clydebank rather than keeping it as a private hospital treating NHS patients. And while more people are paying for private healthcare, I suspect it still isn’t the same numbers as in England.
