Watch awkward moment Keir Starmer tries to explain his controversial private healthcare comment

you have said um that you would rather a family member die in the NHS than have them treated privately now I find this no I didn’t say that I I did not say that you did make a point that you you choose NHS care over private care yeah please I’ll when you finish your question but I did find this I find this slightly disingenuous I didn’t say it okay well you said you would rather the NHS and private and I feel that’s disingenuous because a you have talked about leaning into the private sector to bring down the waiting list and two MB if you’re so committed to the NHS as it is how can you be the man to bring radical reform to it well I think as we discussed last time as you know my wife works in the NHS she’s in one of the big London hospitals so this is a constant uh discussion between us my mom was a nurse

  1. Solicitors look for loopholes in the law system and represent murders and all the nasty in life, not just to give them fair trials but to get them off all together. Here we are with one of them possibly becoming PM. And we're supposed to trust him?

  2. MPs get private rooms in the NHS under the guise of security. So he has no problem promoting the NHS over private care..

  3. Why have you cut the part where Keir actually 'tries to explain'? Is it because you know your readers struggle to read past the headline?

  4. His Dad was a toolmaker, his Mum a nurser ( did you know that?, ps they were both Muslims too ), so cmon, he’s proper genuine working class: the ‘ Mango doesn’t fall far from tut tree ‘ as they say in Kiers Yerksha.
    lets all chant Sir FlipzFlops chant ‘WEF when do we want it ? Now ! WEF, when do we want it 🤷🏻‍♂️, a Leader in the making 🫣.

  5. If one of yr family was seriously ill and had to go onto a NHS waiting list ? or pay for immediate care privately what would you choose ? Multimillionaire Rishi – Private, Millionaire Starmer NHS !. Says it All!. Starmer= Ideologue and Liar.

  6.
