The vast majority of GPs resisted the founding of the NHS – here’s why

Securing the reluctant assent of general practitioners (GPs) was one of Labour health minister Nye Bevan’s most difficult tasks in founding the NHS by July 5 1948.

Key Points: 
  • Securing the reluctant assent of general practitioners (GPs) was one of Labour health minister Nye Bevan’s most difficult tasks in founding the NHS by July 5 1948.
  • Bevan’s eventual compromise with the doctors’ union representing GPs, the British Medical Association (BMA), still casts its shadow over health services today.
  • Bevan became minister on August 5 1945, inheriting a legacy of attempts to create a health service during the second world war.
  • These different groups of doctors were the hospital specialists and consultants, local authority medical officers and GPs.

Troublesome

  • While Bevan bought hospital specialists and consultants and sold out the ideals of local authority medical officers, GPs remained troublesome throughout negotiations, right up to the day the NHS began.
  • GPs remained independent doctors who ran their own surgeries, maintaining their own list of patients.
  • Poor pay from the 1911 reforms meant lists were bloated for GPs to remain afloat, especially in deprived areas.
  • Together, these last-minute concessions meant the NHS launched to much fanfare in Park Hospital, Trafford, by Bevan on July 5 1948.

Legacy

  • Despite recurrent rounds of reforms over the intervening decades, GPs remain mostly independent doctors contracted to provide certain services rather than salaried workers.
  • Despite these losses, the basic professional model that GPs fought hard to retain in 1948 – one dating back to 1911 – remains recognisable today.

Rishi Sunak’s plan to redefine extremism is disingenuous – and a threat to democracy

This, he has argued, is needed because “our democracy itself is a target” of antisemitic and Islamophobic extremists.

Key Points: 
  • This, he has argued, is needed because “our democracy itself is a target” of antisemitic and Islamophobic extremists.
  • However, the reality is that no measures do more damage to democracy than policy proposals like the one Sunak is promoting.
  • The UK already has a definition for extremism, which is used in efforts to tackle terrorism.
  • A key reason why this definition is not contained in legislation is because it is so vague and unclear.

Vague to vaguer

  • What does it mean to undermine or overturn the rights or freedoms of others?
  • Would arguing for the UK to leave the European convention on human rights count meet the bar?
  • What about calling for restrictions on the right to free speech or the right to protest?

Existing laws are enough

  • But the UK already has numerous laws in place to tackle what it considers to be unacceptable behaviour at protests.
  • The Terrorism Act (which is also incredibly broad) can be used to prosecute people who damage property or create a serious risk to public safety during protests.
  • Counter-terrorism laws can also capture forms of expression at public demonstrations or online.
  • This can now be applied by he police to criminalise protests that are considered to be making too much noise.

The right to protest

  • People may self-censor out of fear of being identified as extremist, not least when their employer has a duty under Prevent.
  • There is a deep danger of conflating protest with extremism and terrorism, undermining the legitimacy of these protests.
  • To stretch the concept of extremism to cover these views is what is actually undermining democracy and the rights and freedoms of others.

If you’ve recently entered the workforce or the housing market, you may still be wrapping your mind around all of these terms.

Key Points: 
  • If you’ve recently entered the workforce or the housing market, you may still be wrapping your mind around all of these terms.
  • Here is what you need to know about the different types of taxes and how they affect you.
  • When you earn money If you are an employee or own a business, taxes are deducted from your salary or profits you make.
  • If you are self-employed, you will have to pay your taxes via an annual tax return assessment.
  • The articles in this series explore the questions and bring answers as we navigate this turbulent period of life.
  • The government collects taxes from all sources and sets its spending plans accordingly, borrowing to make up any difference between the two.

Income tax

  • The amount of income tax you pay is determined by where your income sits in a series of “bands” set by the government.
  • Almost everyone is entitled to a “personal allowance”, currently £12,570, which you can earn without needing to pay any income tax.
  • You then pay 20% in tax on each pound of income you earn (across all sources) from £12,570-£50,270.

National insurance

  • National insurance contributions (NICs) are a second “tax” you pay on your income – or to be precise, on your earned income (your salary).
  • While Jeremy Hunt, the current chancellor of the exchequer, didn’t adjust income tax meaningfully in this year’s budget, he did announce a cut to NICs.
  • This was a surprise to many, as we had already seen rates fall from 12% to 10% on incomes higher than £242/week in January.

Other taxes

  • Wealth taxes may be in line for a change.
  • In the budget, the chancellor reduced capital gains taxes on sales of assets such as second properties (from 28% to 24%).
  • There are calls from many quarters though to look again at these types of taxes.
