Remeber the general election campaign? I know it was back in 2019 which is a world away so here’s a little recap of some of the key promises made by the PM:
5th September, 2019 https://www.theguardian.com/politics/video/2019/sep/05/boris-johnson-tells-us-no-nhs-trade-deal-not-keen-chlorinated-chicken-video

24th September, 2019: Boris tells Trump NHS is off the table: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-trump-brexit-trade-deal-nhs-chlorinated-chicken-un-a9117576.html
27th November, 2019: Labour and that lying Marxist Corbyn says NHS *is* on the table:
The same day, Boris comes out and flatly denies all this https://www.theguardian.com/politics/video/2019/nov/27/the-nhs-is-not-on-the-table-boris-johnson-denies-labour-claims-video
The same day again he gives a ‘cast iron guarantee that the NHS is NOT on the table. Phew. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10432994/jeremy-corbyn-produces-evidence-of-nhs-being-for-sale-but-its-years-old-and-barely-mentions-health-service/
3rd December, 2019: Trump, not in any way influenced by the Cummings network of communication, says NHS is not on the table and he doesn’t want it anyway https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50638110
5th December, 2019: Boris tells his mate Philip Schofield that the NHS being on the table is ‘absolute nonsense’ https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1213395/Boris-Johnson-Phillip-Schofield-NHS-privatisation-Conservative-Party-general-election-itv
Then he wins the election with a landslide based on these promises, something pretty bad happens which requires our NHS more than ever and he claps along with how amazing they are 2 weeks ago https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12037068/brits-join-boris-johnson-clap-nhs-heroes/
And just THREE DAYS AGO, a load of those NHS workers who he clapped and who nursed him back from a visit to intensive care, write to him asking for the NHS to NOT be on the table, like he promised it wouldn’t be. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-trade-deal-nhs-doctors-nurses-eu-boris-johnson-a9624816.html
And what happened last night? Does he think we won’t notice? Does he think we won’t get apoplectic with rage? Does he not care? https://evolvepolitics.com/breaking-tories-vote-down-amendment-to-protect-nhs-from-foreign-control-in-brexit-trade-deals/
