It was a manifesto pledge
Why no 'pragmatic' U-turn' on nationalising water, energy, rail rolling stock companies and freight; ending privatisation of the NHS and social care; taxing the super rich?

Spending on Privatisation now makes up around 10% of the NHS budget, but they only do about 4% of the work.
More Privatisation is apparently the solution, presumably so in the end they get 100% of the money and do 40% of the work.

The problem with Thatcherism is that eventually you run out of other people's assets to sell.
The central delusion of Thatcherism is the idea politicians can destroy the postwar settlement and replace it with nothing, which in practice turns out to always be panicking governments shoring up the systems they vandalised fuck out of, using sticky tape and wood glue.
