John52 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Torygraph claims she graduated from Somerville (She didn't, she got expelled) She claims she has been given the job, not for her loyalty to Truss, but for her 'grasp of detail' *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunsterJohn Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 That would be Dr. Coffey who went on to get a PhD in chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John52 Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Her 'grasp of detail' was such that, as head of the DWP going on Radio to talk about Universal credit said the £20 withdrawn was about 2 hours extra work - unaware that 63p in the £ would be taken back. Then she went on record to say that Johnson was "not aware" of "specific" allegations relating to Pincher. *-) Couple of days later Johnson admitted he was (lol) Her biggest success seems to be as Truss's campaign manager?

Or maybe it was her taking a bung from Ladbrokes, supporting then in Parliament, and earning a place in Johnson's cabinet :-S https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th%C3%A9r%C3%A8se_Coffey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John52 Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 Now Coffey claims the NHS was conceived by a Tory 🙃 In her conference speech, Coffey had the effrontery to claim the NHS originator was a Tory baronet, Sir Henry Willink, the wartime health minister involved in the Beveridge report; she says it was he “who conceived the NHS”. My thanks to Roy Lilley, health commentator extraordinare, for showing that Willink in fact opposed nationalising hospitals as he believed it would “destroy so much in this country that we value” (his party vehemently resisted the NHS). https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/oct/11/tories-fear-loathe-nhs-workers-strike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebishbus Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 There you go again putting your own spin on the facts. She said he proposed A National Health Service, not THE National Health Service. In fact I think the first mention of a NHS was in 1910 by Dr Benjamin Moore, and by 4 or 5 other people before 1945.If the Conservatives had won the 1945 election we would have had their version of the NHS.

She said he proposed A National Health Service, not THE National Health Service. Actually Brian she did say exactly that, "a Conservative MP from my home town who conceived the NHS". If anyone was 'spinning' anything it was Coffey herself who, by making that claim, should have been telling conference it's about time they began taking more care of the NHS instead of trying to destroy it!

Bulletguy Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Coffeys conference speech was so rousing it sent delegates to sleep. They need to change their banner! 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebishbus Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Yes Bulletguy, what she said was right, but taken out of contexts, (as the media always does). She meant that Henry Willink conceived ( ie imagined, thought about, considered )A National Health Service. But that was in 1940, when he proposed A National Heath Service, not that he was responsible for the National Health Service of 1948. Brian B.
