Rishi Sunak… The new Gordon Brown. How much worse can he conduct this election campaign? Only time will tell!
Laughing at a rather dumb joke ain’t so bad. Tastless but honestly we can all grin at the odd inappropriate joke.
What is utterly disgusting is failing to comment along the lines. “I am sure that is untrue.” Followed by some speal supporting the hard word doctors do.
The former sorta shows he is human. But without the latter it becomes clear evidence. That he dose not respect the staff working for the NHS.
He had an oppertunity to turn his plan into an sales pitch in how it can help GPS and the rest of the NHS. Because lets face it most GP practices are already trying to do it to some extent. With nurses taking over many duties at different levels.
The issue is that while on paper this is far from a bad idea. It is being presented by a PM who has continued to disrespect the BHS staff and the work they do. As has his party from at least the 1980s.
Reminder that Sunak’s father was an NHS GP, and his mother a pharmacist who ran her own local pharmacy, so he has a lot of personal knowledge of the strain healthcare was under during much easier times.
He’s just thrown in the towel.
That’s the point of new public management. We all see how waterways are treated as it has fully settled in the private sector. You pay 10x more to feed a bunch of consultants, and the service itself suffers in quality.
Margaret Thatcher was wrong and still is.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rishi Sunak has laughed at a joke about GPs after a doctor shouted at him over the state of the NHS.
The prime minister was speaking at a rally in Wiltshire on Friday when the woman - understood to be Dr Jane Lees-Millais - began questioning government policies that see patients being sent to other primary care staff, rather than GPs.
But when she was then heckled by a man shouting, “most GPs spend more time on holiday than in the surgery, love”, Mr Sunak laughed.
Responding to the doctor, the prime minister highlighted how his father had been a GP and his mother had been a pharmacist, adding: "My parents dedicated themselves to primary care.
He said the government was “supporting” GPs, mentioning money being put into new digital telephones, before continuing: "We are also making it easier for people to see other primary care practitioners to get the treatments they need and that’s where I will respectfully disagree with you.
The incident comes after a difficult day for the prime minister, who is facing criticism from all sides over leaving D-Day commemorations in France early on Thursday in order to do a TV interview back in the UK.
