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.
