Fighting words from Cameron, but he’s picking the wrong fight

 
Some strikingly martial language from Cameron who is now promising to “give the government a bare knuckle fight over the NHS”. What a shame that his strategy is to do this on behalf of the unions, rather than the patients. There is still time to rewrite his dismal NHS policy. Brown is dumping the Blair reform agenda: power to the patients, not the producers (or the “professionals” as the Tories now lovingly call them), should be Cameron’s mantra. But this fighting talk is a welcome change of tone.
