After a two week winning streak, Corbyn was back on firm terrority for Labour at today’s PMQs: the NHS. Could he make it a hattrick? He began strong, asking: “In 2010, £4bn of NHS services were outsourced to private companies, how much is it today?”
May didn’t answer the question, instead opting to point out that the spend on the independent sector nearly doubled in the last four years of the Labour government. After Corbyn insisted he wanted figures for privatisation today, May scored a decent comeback by pointing out outsourcing is not increasing in England, but that is was under the Labour government in Wales.
