The Telegraph, The Times (paywall) and The Independent have all got on the front page Andrew Lansley's announcement that there might be a rethink on the NHS reforms in the face of ferocious opposition from the BMA, the Lib Dems, think-tanks, the health select committee, medical journals and, The Independent notes, "even David Cameron's cardiologist brother-in-law." Why this isn't on the front page of The Guardian (or, for that matter, the FT) is beyond me.
But the point is the same as on the forests - if you fight these bastards long and hard, they'll back down. Lansley is no expert and everyone knows these reforms were cobbled together last minute. He hasn't got the courage of his convictions - he'll blink before you do. Remember Egypt - don't leave the square until you've got everything you asked for. Don't give up until they give in.
