The Health Secretary's proposal for a league table to hold underperforming hospitals accountable has sparked a discussion among readers. One reader, K Roberts, from Essex, suggests that the same level of scrutiny should be applied to government ministers who fail to deliver on their responsibilities. They ask when a similar league table will be introduced for poorly performing ministers.
On the other hand, a reader named Mark shares a personal experience with a loved one suffering without any alternative. They argue against legalizing assisted dying, stating that good intentions can lead to a slippery slope. However, another reader named Gareth Smith from London disagrees and shares his own experience of witnessing his mother suffer in agony before passing away. Gareth believes that assisted dying should be an option for those who are suffering and in pain, just as we would not let an animal go through the same experience.
With the upcoming vote on the assisted dying bill, another reader named Paul Billson from Letchworth Garden City questions why the decision should be made by just 650 sitting MPs. With a population of 68 million, Paul believes that it is unfair for such a monumental decision to be made by such a small percentage of the population and suggests that it should be put to a public vote.
The topic of Brexit also sparks a debate among readers. Some express confusion over how the UK can still receive benefits from the EU without rejoining, while others compare it to a member of a social club who stops paying their subscription but still expects to receive the same benefits as other members.
Moving on to US politics, the appointment of Fox News TV host Pete Hegseth as the US defense secretary by Donald Trump has raised objections from some readers. While some criticize his lack of government experience, others are shocked by his tattoos. However, reader Carolyn Manley from Hatfield believes that personal opinions should not be a reason to dismiss his appointment.
The discussion then shifts to Trump's promises and his intentions to put America first. Some readers, such as Mick from the West Midlands, believe that Trump's actions are similar to Boris Johnson's during his time as Prime Minister, which ultimately led to his downfall. Others, like Judy Baldwinson, believe that voters will see through Trump's promises and hold him accountable in the next election. However, Richard from London disagrees and believes that putting one's country first is not a bad thing, as it benefits the citizens.
Overall, readers share their thoughts and opinions on various topics, sparking a healthy and respectful debate in the comments section.
