Rachel Reeves has bet all our money on Wes Streeting saving the NHS
The thinking behind Rachel Reeves's spending plans for the next three years was revealed in her statement on Wednesday. It is crude and probably correct. Of the government's three priorities, there is only one that ministers can control so she will throw money at that one. The voters care about the cost of living, immigration and the NHS. There is not much the governmen t can do about the first. It has to talk about growth and hope for the best. We are at the mercy of Donald Trump, various wars and the bond markets. Nor do ministers think, in their heart of hearts, that there is much they can do about the Channel crossings. They have to talk about falling legal immigration, a trend they inherited from the Conservatives, while getting cross with the French for not doing enough to stop the small boats – but not so cross that the gendarmes shrug and fold their arms. That leaves the NHS. The chancellor has put all her chips on the blue and white oblong on the casino table. The health service received the most generous settlement on Wednesday, planned to grow by three per cent more than inflation over this parliament. There are those – and Nigel Farage is one of them – who will mutter 'bottomless pit' and 'good money after bad'. Those of us who are a bit more sophisticated will mention the NHS productivity crisis. Before the spending review, for example, I pointed to figures from the Institute for Fiscal Studies showing huge increases in the numbers of doctors and nurses in the NHS over the past five years, and small increases in the number of patients seen. But I also cited evidence that NHS productivity was improving after the one-off shock of the pandemic and now there is more hopeful news to share. Reports are beginning to emerge about what is in the 10-year plan for the NHS to be published by Wes Streeting, the health secretary, next month. It sounds like a good and ambitious plan to shift incentives so that patients are kept out of hospitals and needless in-person appointments are abolished. Speaking to The Times, Streeting said: '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.' It might seem a bit slow. He has been in government for nearly a year and is only now coming up with a plan? Government is slow – Keir Starmer has taken to asking repeatedly, 'Why not today?' – but it is important to get big changes right, and Streeting has thrown himself at a lot of the less visible work in his first 11 months, including abolishing the NHS England bureaucracy and taking the NHS back under the direct control of his department. He has learned the lessons from the last time Labour saved the NHS under Tony Blair, including bringing back some of the key people who did it: Alan Milburn, Blair's health secretary, and Michael Barber, the head of his delivery unit. The blueprint is all there in a new book, The Art of Delivery by Michelle Clement, my colleague at King's College London. It is based on Barber's diaries and is the fullest account of how the public services were turned around in Blair's second term as prime minister. The book makes clear what ought to be obvious, which is that it takes time for the combination of more money and reform to start to change measurable outputs, and even longer before the general public notices an improvement. Nor is improvement a steady upward gradient, because there are policy mistakes and personality clashes along the way. One of Barber's greatest strengths was his ability to manage relationships put under strain by politicians' impatience for delivery. When one permanent secretary ranted at him for giving his department a traffic-light rating in a note to Blair without consulting him, Barber said: 'This has always happened. I'm just telling you.' Now it is happening again. The good civil servants and NHS managers will realise that it helps them to have objective performance indicators and stretching targets if the whole service is starting to move in the right direction. Barber had to persevere for two years before the indicators started to shift, but in the NHS the momentum of change gathered pace thereafter. By 2004, Barber told the cabinet that an episode of EastEnders showed Ian Beale complaining that 'people spend at least five hours in A&E', to which Jane, his wife, responded, 'It's a lot better nowadays.' Barber began to talk confidently about how the changes in just three years were becoming 'irreversible' – a claim that was mocked by the parsimony and incompetence of the Tory years, which managed to reverse the Labour gains eventually. The point is that the NHS can be changed in a single parliament. The challenges are different now, and so are the technologies. But the principles are the same: more money accompanied by devolution of power to successful managers and aligning staff incentives with the interests of patients. Time is already running out for this government, and the stakes are high. Most cabinet ministers understand that. One of them was quoted anonymously by The Times today. If it wasn't Streeting himself, it was someone who thinks just like him: 'The truth is there are a lot of people whose lives have been shit for a long time. They rolled the dice with Brexit, they rolled the dice with Boris and then they rolled the dice again with us. They need to see results otherwise they will roll the dice again with Reform.' Time is running out, but Streeting is one of the few cabinet ministers to have made good use of it so far.

"No Space For Bezos": Why Venice Locals Are Against The Billionaire's Wedding
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his fiancee Lauren Sanchez, former TV journalist, are set to get married. The details of the nuptials are top secret with even the date of the wedding not public yet but the festivities are scheduled for 24-26th June. However, there is a lot of anger among locals as they fear the world heritage site will suffer from the effects of excessive tourism. Activists have ramped up their "No space for Bezos" campaign after Luigi Brugnaro, Venice's millionaire mayor, confirmed in March that the couple would be getting married in the city. The locals erected a banner reading "No Bezos" on the bell tower of San Giorgio basilica on the Venetian island of San Giorgio, where the couple is rumoured to be exchanging vows. According to a report by the NYT, Federica Toninello, a protest organiser, said that one of the venues could be The Misericordia, a former charity turned events hall. But she said that Bezos will never get to the venue. "Bezos will never get to the Misericordia," she said, adding, "We will line the streets with our bodies, block the canals with lifesavers, dinghies and our boats." Na Haby Stella Faye, another protester, said, "We have a chance to disrupt a ten million dollar wedding - let's do it." Despite very little information about the wedding, the press has been filled with hearsay about guests, hotel rooms, the bride's dress and more. "This wedding is causing much friction, especially because it is happening at a time when Venice, already invaded by uncontrolled tourism, is completely worn out," said Giovanni Andrea Martini, a councillor for the opposition, per a report by the Guardian. Brugnaro has called the anti-Bezos campaigners "shameful" and has informed locals that the wedding will not cause any inconvenience. "Only 200 guests will have been invited and therefore it will be easy for Venice to accommodate such an event, without any disruption whatsoever to the city, its residents and visitors," the Municipality of Venice said, according to The opposition member, Giovanni Andrea Martini, said that Brugnaro's claims are "false". He slammed the "extreme case of the Disneyfication of Venice," and said the wedding "won't bring any benefit to ordinary Venetians. It is just going to cause inconvenience."

Red Arrows make history with sustainable fuel flypast for King's birthday
Jets from the world-famous aerobatic display team were powered by a blend of sustainable aviation fuel, and used the vegetable oil to produce their trademark vapour trails. It follows groundbreaking trials by RAF engineers and logisticians. All nine of the team's British-built Hawk fast-jets were topped up with a high-ratio blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at the team's home base of RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire, before they set off, in what is thought to be a world's first. The flypast is also thought to be the first time a renewable biofuel – known as hydrotreated vegetable oil – has been used to produce vapour trails. Charles has been championing sustainability and climate action since before he ascended the throne. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said the King was not involved in the decision but was 'delighted' because he has been encouraging use of the fuel on royal flights where practical and hopes the example will lead to wider use across the aviation sector. Squadron leader Andy King, the Red Arrows' senior engineering officer who led the project, said: 'Ever since the Red Arrows' first display in 1965, the team has aimed to inspire future generations and represent the best of British. Using this technology is the latest example of our relentless pursuit of excellence. 'The flypast for His Majesty The King is the perfect opportunity to showcase this innovation. 'The vibrant vapour trails that we generate is what sets the Red Arrows apart and so to be the first aerobatic team in the world to move to a fully sustainable option is really exciting.' Minister for the Armed Forces, Luke Pollard, said: 'The iconic Red Arrows are one of the world's premier aerobatic display teams and by adopting a more environmentally friendly sustainable aviation fuel, the Royal Air Force is blazing a trail as part of our work to combat climate change.' The Red Arrows' 2025 season runs until October, with 60 shows planned across the UK and mainland Europe.
