1. He's an idiot.
2. He'll probably try to sell the NHS to Rupert Murdoch.
3. He's previously described the NHS as 'a 60-year old mistake'.
4. He criticised Danny Boyle for including the NHS in the Olympic opening ceremony.
5 He's pro-homeopathy.
6 He's anti-abortion.
Looks like he'll be a riproaring success, then. Cheers, Dave.

What someone else said. The politician now in charge of the NHS believes that a sugar solution which has been diluted to the point that not a single molecule of an active agent (such as caffeine for insomnia) remains is effective. He is an idiot and (in my humble opinion) a liar.
Here's a link to the Telegraph (not known for its rabidly lefty views)

Of course he's a liar. He's a Tory. The two go hand in hand.

Maybe this is just a cunning move to stop Gove being the most hated minister?

Alternatively, I wonder if it's just that Call Me Dave was worried that the Societies might be struggling to find tab subjects this year, and thought he'd serve us up an easy target?

I didn't know he was anti-choice as well as pro-Murdoch and anti-NHS.
He really is a loathesome man and his smirk is a rival for the Gidiot's in smugness.

Question is, when will the Lib Dems revolt ? have they got the balls ?

I doubt it. Well, I doubt if enough of them have for it to add up to a full-blown rebellion.
I'm not sure if it would make a huge difference anyway. The Orange Book mob still have a lot of clout in the party (look at Cable) and they might as well be Tories tbh.

The problem for the LibDems, surely, is that they'll be wiped out in the next election pretty much so they'll be terrified of anything which might provoke the downfall of the government. The Tories have their own pain too: the right wing want far more radical (and damaging) change than the LibDems are allowing. It's a right old mess.

The real question is when is Norman Baker going to show some balls and stand up for the issues he was elected on. Quite frankly I'd rather have a Tory than him representing Lewes. At least Tories are honest about being Tories.

Baker is a disgrace, with a nice ministerial job and massive pension at the heart of an increasingly right wing govt backing privilege. What a dreadful MP to have - as said above a Tory MP would be more honest (with no difference in practice).
