DID I hear that right?

That Boris Johnson, on his first trip to Turkey, has assured the increasingly dictatorial Turkish President, Mr Erdogan, that he will do everything in his power to ease that country’s access to the EU?

And that he will do so despite the grave warnings he raised before the Referendum about the calamity such a development would prove to be!

Has our Foreign Minister no morals at all?

One-time Ukip leadership contender, Steven Woolfe, now maintains there is something rotten at the heart of his former party.

I would be interested to hear from any Ukip, or indeed Tory supporter – say Mr Neil Carmichael – who feels they can somehow justify Mr Johnson’s behaviour.

Anthony Hentschel Nailsworth NHS funding WHILE it was good that you published my letter last week (Save the NHS) it is a shame that the sections you edited out were the very crux of the message I wished to convey.

Simply that there is enough money for the NHS without cuts or new ways to fund it.

The message – that the huge changes to the NHS (Sustainability & Transformation Plans/STPs) are being implemented based on a false ‘need’ for cuts.

1. Analysis (undertaken by Health Care Audit) of the Department of Health accounts for this year show there is adequate money to fund the NHS properly; the DoH chose not to.

2. The reforms continue wasting money. They are short-termist, unproven and untested.

3. The NHS Reinstatement Bill (Second reading November 4) would save the NHS £billions a year and stop, once and for all, the continuous upheavals.
