Rishi Sunak appeared on a LBC call-in today and he was slammed by a junior doctor. The PM then in turn slammed Nadine Dorries.
Strike
Olivia called in and told the PM: “I think it’s amazing that we’re blaming the increase in waiting lists on doctors going on strike… everyone is leaving… a happy workforce is your responsibility… your staff aren’t happy & that’s your fault…”
This was one of many responses, “Rishi Sunak is actually blaming NHS waiting lists going up on Junior Doctors and consultants.
“I salute Olivia, the caller and A&E registrar for keeping her cool & speaking so eloquently.”
Sunak Dorries
On the subject of Nadine Dorries and her non-resignation, Sunak made his feelings clear.
“I think people deserve to have an MP that represents them wherever they are,” the prime minister said.
“It’s just making sure that your MP is engaging with you representing you, whether that’s speaking in Parliament or being present in their constituencies, through surgeries, answering your letters. That’s the job of an MP and all MPs should be held to that standard.”
He added: “At the moment people aren’t being properly represented. We have a strong Conservative candidate there, Festus Akinbusoye, who has been doing a great job as Police and Crime Commissioner previously or currently and I think people there will see that we’ve got a fantastic candidate for them to represent and going forward.”
