Nigel Farage has caused a major stir just as voters headed to the polls, after saying he no longer supports the NHS being funded by general taxation – a move that’s sparked fierce backlash across the political spectrum.
The Reform UK leader said the current system of funding the NHS simply “isn’t working” and suggested it was time to consider alternative models. “I do not want it funded through general taxation,” he said. “It doesn’t work. We’re getting worse bang for the buck than any other country, particularly out of those European neighbours”, reported the Daily Record.
