One reader can't help but admire the current Prime Minister.

Love her or loathe her, one has to admire Prime Minister May as she continues to demonstrate a determination and resolve to achieve the best possible Brexit deal for Britain. There is probably no one better to lead Britain through this economic conflict with Europe that will undoubtedly lead to more mid-term fiscal pain before we reestablish our trading potential within a global market. That however, may be far off and beyond the next general election.

Mrs May's Churchillian rhetoric will sustain the Nation's nerve through these negotiations but to what cost for her and the Conservative Party? Her denial of the current failures within the NHS, her playing for time in the hope this winter crisis will evaporate and that a few chosen words to combine health and social care will somehow appease the electorate, will surely be remembered. Will history repeat itself? For whilst the Prime Minister was never over enthusiastic for leaving the European Economic Union, she continues to valiantly uphold the will of the electorate, yet at the same time refuses to acknowledge the mood of the Nation in respect of health and social care.

Over 60pc of the working population appear to support an increase in National Insurance contributions ring-fenced to the NHS. We are reminded that Churchill's resolve to win against the odds fell short of providing a country suitable for its returning heroes where the electorate of post-war Britain, exhausted by the trauma of war and the fiscal restraint that followed, sought social reform for the working classes.

There is a fine line between resolve and determination against the odds and arrogance which dismisses the collective voice of the people, one hopes before long the government will acknowledge and provide the substantial investment needed to uphold the values of our NHS if only for its own survival.
