Boris says I'm alright Jack, take it on the chin, and if a few old people die so be it

It is not about you, Boris...

You do? Nice words, so about that pay rise...

Thank you for acknowledging the efforts and hard work of the nhs BorisJohnson now why don’t you acknowledge that years of underfunding the nhs has resulted in this situation and it’s about time your party increase spending & increase wages of all nhs workers

Boris Johnson is full of shit

Let's hope as a thank you he increases NHS's allocation in the budget.

Duh. Of course he does

Has he had his nap yet?

How’s that heard immunity going for you Boris

So now socialized medicine works

Fack orf.

Equipped them with PPE

Maybe he’ll be a changed man.

He will forget he ever said that within a few months.

vvanwilgenburg Boris Johnson says a lot of things but Boris is still a 🤡

The demand for medical staff will be increased

He had better give all health and social care workers a proper wage, and start funding services properly then!

NHS will end up regretting saving the serpent

Damn!

Then save it don't sell it off. The NHS was the envy of the world, make it again and kick out the PFI that Blair put in as that where all the money goes and give the hospitals back to the NHS to control. NHS SaveTheNHS

I think AlexBodePfefJo has painted himself into a corner... When this is over public opinion will force an NHS pay rise and it will have to be substantial... And the NHS must be put on a sound footing for the future

But they still won’t get a decent pay rise

...just not a decent wage and respect enough to give them protection TODAY, not on order.

alos owe his citizen of their life because of his policy

Money where your mouth is then boy

Give them at least double pay you rat

BorisJohnson how about that pay rise you voted down?

Sadly when the virus has gone it will all go back to what it was before ,we can’t invest to much in the NHS for the people,we have vanity project HS2 to finance

If he hadn't been so gung-ho and childish about C-19 in the first place he might not have got it. We need a strong intelligent grown up leading this country, not a bafoon and ratty Cummings!!

Does he still believes in isolation?

So show you mean what you’re saying. It’s no exaggeration to say you owe your life to the NHS. It’s now high time to reward all the incredible people who work for the NHS. Not just words BJ. You think you’re clever now let’s see your wisdom!

Again BorisJohnson give them a pay rise and listen to them. You can do this Boris, be the priminister that cares about everybody.

Yes, the medical staffs saved your life, boris. But the other UK people are struggling with death.

and i'll bet you they get a negligble pay rise and there will be more cuts and privatisation

I hope he now understands that the NHS is second to none in the world and must be kept in the public hands. Support our NHS.

Let’s hope now he won’t privatise the NHS!

For sure you owe it to them. So? Are you going to make sure they have enough PPE now? Are you going to say you're sorry for making a policy based on 'herd immunity' that caused the pandemic to erupt the way it has?

Maybe now he will fund it properly

Liar liar pants on fire like he gives a toss

Now give them a pay rise

Still won’t give them a pay rise though.

He probably would’ve died if he was a bus driver. They tested him early and admitted him to hospital early. Other mere mortals have to wait until they can hardly breath before they’re admitted.

👌

God Is dead

He and his corrupt cronies have spent years undermining and hollowing out the NHS in order to justify bringing in the private sector, and I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that they'll continue to do so.

Just think of all the other lives that could have been saved if only the NHS had the right kit

Invest more money for NHS, pay rise all medical staff who's sacrifice their live for us, cut down every MP's salary and allowances. Some of the MP's just a leeches

Let’s hope that this multi-millionaire who once wrote that the NHS shouldn’t be free at the point of contact remembers this when it comes to the next funding round.

Close to death and not ventilated, that’s odd?

Oh.. Now.. After the people pointed out to his cabinet that he was not the super her they portrayed him that beat anything on his own.... Better late than never I guess

And time to reflect on the UK's undue relations with Communist China, who is the culprit behind the global pandemic of WuhanVirus. coronavirus COVID19

Well, he can't say that the NHS staff owe their lives to him.

Does that include all the foreign ones you want to send home ?

the wicked BorisJohnson must first, FreeBiafra frm his British creation called nigeria, to get himself freed frm the COVID19 punishment. ukparliament govuk London

UK is projected to have 37,500 deaths out of 67M, a death rate 50% worse than Italy and over 2x worse than France. California is projected to have 1616 deaths out of 39.5M, a per capita rate like Finland. That's ~35K deaths the UK could've easily avoided with better policies.

I hope he remembers that next time he cuts their resources

vvanwilgenburg Terrible to this tweet. The hatred level is still intolerable. I hope Labour under Keir_Starmer's leadership can transform soon, reduce the inapt thinking and replace it by constructive moves.

They sorting out your mess!

Please report how many NHS staff owe their deaths to his lack of planning.

BorisOut BorisResign Boris he should be taken to court for his responsibility over so many deaths...

And to the Italian doctor, don't you?

Yes, and a hospital bed to someone who needed it

Let’s hope he doesn’t sell it off the the US then!

He’s still going to dismantle it

for someone who loves the limelight how come he has never been photographed or seen in the ICU for maximum publicity?

Lest he never forget....

START BETTER FUNDING THE NHS ! GIVE THEM MORE MONEY....

Does he also owe them ppe, testing, equipment, pay rise and apology too?

Ever the politician.

Get well soon Boris!! you deserve the life more than many Arab leaders, we can afford the life with you, but we can't do with Bashar Alassad.

Sad that enlightenment and sympathy only comes with personal experience to conservatives. Also, maybe he will reconsider the course of his party of slashing social and healthcare systems in the future? (doubtful)

Talk is cheap!

Shame they couldn’t rely on him to save theirs.

Good news. He lost some weight I bet he is going to feel great.

.BorisJohnson Does this mean you and your party will stop gutting it with budget cuts and hostile immigration policies? Will you now fund it properly for all Britons? cc patel4witham COVID19

Not to shake hands with them ...

I must be a fortune teller....great PR from Cummings, he's a genius of our time.

He also owes the families of those that have sadly died from coronavirus with his appalling handling of all this!

We should all remember this in case there’s ever a vote in Parliament to reward NHS staff and he and his followers whoop and cheer in its defeat.

Good. Hear is to hoping that NHS will again be a priority in terms of resources and compensation for his government and every other government going forward

Watch this translate into further cuts to the NHS, an increase in wait times and job losses across the board

Is that the same nurses he & other Tories gave themselves a round of applause for in Parliament when they managed not to give nurses a pay rise.

Good. Now turn that acknowledgement into practical action & genuine political support for our brilliant NHS BorisJohnson

Now he knows how everything in this world is worthless including power

I’m glad he survived but what about all the people who didn’t?

Again?

I wonder how many of nearly 10,000 who have died would be alive today if their hospitals were able to afford them the same care as What Boris received. As for NHS staff, if he really valued them he would ask Matt Hancock

Close encounter won’t stop the tide of backdoor privatisation of the NHS.

I’ll put a safe wager on the fact that all staff that attended Johnson had full PPE & not bin bags over their heads 😏

So does that mean the Tory deals to sell off parts of the NHS to the bearded hippy in the Caribbean & to US based cos are now canx ?

Now put your money where your mouth is and give the NHSuk a pay rise

Playing games, watching movies and having banter with staff in ICU? I may be a cynic; Johnson may well have been 'unwell', but this sounds more like malingering that serious illness & a waste of a much needed NHS bed. PMinhiding

I hope he keeps to his word . No country has controlled and treated this situation with private health care.

Let's hope he and the other tories don't forget that lesson NHS

So he and his cabinet will promise never to refer to nurses as 'low skilled' ever again? We shall see 🤔

Is he repenting his sins , of its only spur of the moment sentiment

Is he repenting if his sins , of its only spur of the moment sentiment

does this mean he has 'seen the light' and will now do everything in his power as PM to save the NHS and invest?! 😒 unlikely

BorisJohnson 10DowningStreet MattHancock If Boris is so grateful, let him order an enquiry into what fools decided on a 1 test centre strategy (which is still 98.5K tests a day short of target) and refused the help of smaller independent labs to help test NHS staff for C2!!

Talk is cheap,sort out their PPE then! That's the minimum Boris should do to show his gratitude!!

Maybe he’ll remember that when him and his government go back to running it into the ground, like they’ve done for the last 10 years.

Well give them a decent pay increase 💁🏼‍♀️

Well pay them a proper wage then!!!!

Yep

Boris has been reeducated.

Telegraph Dear friends! Would it be possible to publish the protocol used in the treatment of PM? What medications?

Glad BorisJohnson is feeling better continuing to pray for you all much love from🇺🇸

There'll be disapointment in the boardrooms of US drug/equipment companies and insurance companies at least for a couple of years.

I think ‘they’ don’t like you

HOPEFULLY HE WILL REWARD IT.

His hollow sound bites and slogans ; ‘protect the NHS’, ‘Save lives’seek to obscure a profit driven response that places corporate profits before the country’s health and well-being. We’re not testing enough, we’re not tracking, we’re not isolating enough, there is not enough PPE

Will his first act in parliament be a pay rise for NHS staff?

Dear friends! Would it be possible to publish the protocol used in the treatment of PM? What medications?

Doesn't mean he values them enough to pay them properly

He went on to say he can’t wait to continue to underfund and destroy the NHS in return.

Perhaps he’ll do something for them now. Like a fucking living wage.

Throwaway comment when you have the morals of an alley cat.

Wasnt he the one wanting to kill the NHS?

Except he was not as ill as they were trying to make out. NHS resources wasted on him staging a publicity stunt to get sympathy. While at the same time ducking out from a situation he made worse & that he was not equipped to deal with. He is lazy, incompetent & a liar!

give them a pay rise, why isn't he doing shit omg

No shit

Is this his Ebenezer Scrooge moment where he reverses privatisation and gives NHS staff a pay rise? I doubt it. Prove me wrong.

Does this mean that he (and his cronies) will finally give them the support and respect that they deserve? We'll see.

So does that mean he will reverse sub private contracting of the NHS? Does it mean it will be funded by full time staff working exclusively for the NHS at fair wages like they deserve? He is a TORY, they are disingenuous to the core

So...can we open our border for immigrant health workers then?

Instead of just saying that, why doesn't he stop his nodders coming out the absolute crap they're spouting about PPE kit!

How mad is Trumpty Dumpty? I was sure Boris would be touting Trump’s game changer drugs! To

Plus PPE and pay rise

I hope he now think it’s worth saving.

To think he was going to kill us all. Herd immunity

Perhaps the next time he cheers, it‘s when they get the pay rise they truly deserve.

Oh, the irony!

He is a lucky boy

Does he strike you as the sort of man to honour his debts?

Yes he does so sack Hancock priti can do two jobs she more than capable and let’s get covid by the bollocks !

Is that the same boris that voted against giving NHS workers a pay rise

Let's see what your new strategy in his country is. After he is born again.

Bad NHS! Bad!

So he'll ensure they get enough, effective PPE?
