Edward Heath blocked US use of UK bases to defend Israel in 1973. Harold Wilson resisted US pressure to send troops to Vietnam. From the ’50s to early 2000s, the UK imposed full arms embargoes on Israel for breaking international law. We can choose not to be America’s poodle.

Whilst we’re dunking on Streeting for his “let’s gene test all babies” folly, let’s not forget the rest of his imminent 10yr NHS plan. Heavy on corporate GP firms, tech gimmicks, & help for firms keen to treat the lucrative “worried well”, v light on *treating actual sick patients*. 👇
The plan will include the rollout of "neighbourhood health teams" to bring together a range of services, with far more use of private companies to deliver care and
hospitals able to take over the running of GP services. Attempts to harness technology will include providing smart watches and wearable tech to patients, as well as the rollout of virtual hospitals, allowing patients to
directly contact consultants on an "Uber-style" platform. The shift from sickness to prevention will see a greater emphasis on identifying risks early - such as via genomics - as well as efforts to overhaul lifestyles, and
tackle wider determinants of health, such as dampLast week he told NHS managers: "As we deliver the transformational shifts in our 10-year plan, from hospital to community, analogue to digital, and sickness to
prevention, it will have radical implications for services. "Much of what's done in a hospital today will be done on the high street, over the phone, or through the app in a
decade's time." The rollout of genomic tests is one of the most radical
aspects of the plan. Mr Streeting has previously said he has been inspired by Japan, which is examining how to combine genomics
and AI machine learning to create personalised MOTs.
