     “Right across the UK every part of the NHS is in crisis and all roads do lead back to Westminster because even though this is devolved, decisions taken in Westminster have an impact on the NHS across the whole country.”

  2. SNP pretending labour are in power and the SNP aren’t is the only way that the SNP can make any political capital.

  3. >He was challenged by Kuenssberg on whether his party could be trusted to run the NHS, given what she called the “terrible problems” in the Welsh health service, where Labour are in charge.

    >She pointed out that cancer waiting times were at the second-highest level on record.

    >Streeting said: “Right across the UK every part of the NHS is in crisis and **all roads do lead back to Westminster because even though this is devolved, decisions taken in Westminster have an impact on the NHS across the whole country.”**

    >He added: “I’m convinced that a Labour government in Westminster won’t just deliver for the NHS in England, we’ll create a rising tide that lifts all ships across the UK.”

    >But Kuenssberg pointed out that Labour were “very happy to criticise the SNP in Scotland which has terrible problems with the NHS in Scotland but then when it comes to Wales you’re saying, ‘well it’s all Westminster’s fault’.”

    Glad Streeting gets it.

  5. She proclaims that Scottish NHS has terrible problems, that’s BBC independence for you.
