I’LL be marching to celebrate 70 years of the NHS today. I think grassroots pressure has created progressive political changes we’ve seen in this country and right across the world. Real, long-lasting change comes from the bottom up, and the NHS is no different.
The NHS is one of our greatest achievements, not just as a Labour Party but as a country. And it provides a model for other public services.
We want the national education service to be the great legacy of the next Labour government, just as the NHS is the great legacy of Attlee’s 1945 Labour government.
