Although there is human tragedy behind the data, there is a certain poetic justice to the fact that waiting times for NHS treatment, which have lengthened & become more frequent across the country, are actually worst in more Tory held constituencies than in Labour held seats.
Voters currently prioritise the economy & health: whatever they tell their supporters in the press, the Tories don't have a convincing case for success in either, as people are actually experiencing!
I see this in my area of S Worcs and N Glos. Projects that are unpopular locally happen despite local Tory "hand wringing" opposition because there is no political will. The Tories have overwhelming majorities locally that will never be challenged at the ballot box.
