The young should always take priority of the old, if a health minister can't understand that then, it's right that he's no longer a health minister. The future has to be preserved.

Abhorrent - 'I signed up to the everyone lives manifesto!' Tbf, was this Tory nasty quick death or labour long drawn out slow exhale death?

Still dosent excuse the fact he was an incompetent health secretary

Glad he never got near the top job then you have to be prepared to make the tough decisions.

Just like Event 201 eh? And you still don’t realise that this scamdemic wasn’t all planed?

that’s the hard decisions health ministers have to make, if you take the position you have to make the decisions

There you go- so why is he on that health committee

Real leaders make decisions.

Mr Hunt was right: it WAS morally repugnant. Making life and death decisions based on their judgements on the value of each life is ethically impermissible.

This is happening now with DNRs on over 70s plus others.

If ever you are given a choice of who has to die, the only correct answer is to volunteer yourself.

Hunt does Kirk's Kobyashi Manoeuvre... Respect.

...and he failed the same test of character over 120,000 times as Health Secretary.

Good man. But wait, does this mean that everyone else in government was happy deciding who lived and who died? Does anybody here trust any of them to make that decision?

Brave man, leading from the rear as usual. The military calls them REMFs! With good reason.
