Starmer proposes '10-year NHS plan'announced this week, specifically on promising to halve inflation, grow the economy and reduce debt.
He said there is"not really a growth programme at all" and the plan is"short that piece of the jigsaw puzzle". Mr Haldane added that an"improving picture is needed in 2023" but optimism, innovation and investment"will only happen if people have some sense of a brighter tomorrow for the economy".
Must be very nice to be able to pay privately for your health care. However not being given money for doing nothing and being working class that has to work means I cannot afford private health care. Will you personally pay for some private health care for me. You can afford it.
Rishi doesn’t have to ring 200 times for a callback with the rest if us pond life
RishiSunak you're just there for the rich like you getting richer lets be honest. Borderline funding for the NHS whilst you and your family are looked after with private care around the clock.
How's the honesty and integrity going RishiSunak
It wasn’t relevant until he refused to answer. We all know, and he’s no different to millions of others who can afford to use private medical. But he’s just made himself look even more slippery.
Exactly why should anyone want to know his personal arrangements?
He's right. Reporters never asked such a question to Cameron, May, Bojo,and Truss. Why now? Cos he ain't white.
It shows he is out of touch.
It’s inevitable that he does, just fucking say so mate nobody really cares we know your out of touch with the majority so just own it a bit more.
So?
Correct. Lots of people have private care. I don’t. Pointless point
Lots of folk have private health care, why shouldn’t he? I get private health care through my employer of which I pay a monthly fee.
He’s the prime minister, Sunak’s healthcare arrangements are relevant. Slippery Sunak doesn’t want people to think he’s an entitled multimillionaire.
I'm glad he doesn't tbh. He & all his selfish mates don't deserve to be cared for by the NHS after the way the Tories have behaved over the last 12 yrs! They want the NHS to fail & we can't allow that to happen!
Draw your own conclusions
Sunak dosent get it. If he doesn’t know how normal people live, how can he make the right decisions on our behalf.
If you could afford private health care of course you'd have it, it's head and shoulders better than the NHS. That said, how can we have faith in people running it who have no idea how stretched and broken it is now. The UK used to be famous for its National Health Service.
None of anyone's business whether he has private healthcare or not. What is our business is that the entire nhs trust system needs a total overhaul. Privatisation is not an option. Shareholders are not an option. Decent pay for employees and a good working environment is.
Another wef puppet...i dunno if he is a pedo or just a little rich fuck doing what daddy wants him to do....should not ever be running a country though....
multi millionaire refuses to say if he uses the NHS, of course he doesn't.
Well taxpayers are funding nurses training who gravitate to private sector for higher pay.This in turn creates shortages within NHS. Forced to pay even higher agency rates to fill shortages Sunak facilatates that process by personally paying the private sector. Very relevant
They're not.
SPOILER: Sunak is undemocratically elected, so he's 'not really relevant.'
Fk the Tories
Does he honestly look like the kind of guy who shares a waiting room with people dressed in pj’s from Primark, tracky bottoms or a damp anorak?
Like Sunak or any of the conservatives give a toss about the NHS in its current form....as if they give a crap about the people in this country, we are just pawns to them.
NHS isn’t good enough for him and his family.
Waiting times to get on the small boats?
Nor is his conflict of interest with big Pharma apparently CommonsSpeaker Conservatives 🤷🏻♂️
Totally relevant.
I’m no supporter but that’s a fair comment… it isn’t relevant.
Don't think there has been a more out of touch PM than him in recent years and that's saying a lot.
The reason for the question is whether or not he has experienced the NHS or not, its a bit like serving an homeless man food and asking him if he’s in business, he may as well of asked him where he lived!!! ?
Let's be honest if you where wealthy would you go NHS possibly wait weeks for an appointment or private seen same day or a day later.
Well it isn't is it. I don't think most people care either way. Other than those who have a chip on their shoulder.
I don’t think the PM considers the British people particularly relevant to his ambitions.
💀
And he’s absolutely right
He’s supposed to represent and lead the country. Of course it matters. But he’s, ultimately, another mega rich elitist who wants to privatise healthcare. He doesn’t need to care about the consequences for the working class. He’s so out of touch it’s unreal. SaveOurNHS
Private docs ( paid for by the taxpayer ) can't fix the outcome of this.
I would at least give him a bit of respect if he could admit it,
Because they're not, you celebrity gossip rag.
Everyone who pays for private, frees up access in the NHS 🤷🏻♀️
The relevance is that he expects the nation he serves to use the health care system his government preside over when he would not chose that for himself or his family!
Correction, he’s not really relevant!
Yes it fking is.
MohammadGhobadloo(22yo) & MohammadBroghani(19yo) are another lives for the Islamic Republic to takes. They are two Iranian protesters and right now they transfered to the solitary, they may not see the sun tomarrow. Say their names. MahsaAmini StopExecutionsInIran
He’s right, they’re not relevant.
Good enough for thee but not for me!
Good job he goes private with those lugs on his head. Any ear infection would tip the NHS over.
Which translates to 'if enough people on the waiting list die then fingers crossed the waiting time will drop'
Bring back Boris...
Of course he uses private healthcare🤦
Course does . but his should help the ordinary people who can't afford private he belongs to a party who never wanted Nhs and tired over the years to ruin it it looks like they are nearly there
Cus it's a witch doctor
Of course he has refused. He says nothing about nothing. Got no plan. Got no honour. Got no understanding.
Thing is why would he? if he did u would be saying look at him with all his cash using the free service fakenewsagain
I’m not Tory fan, and may be shot down for this but if he does have private healthcare then good! If they can afford it, use it. Free it up for the people who can’t afford it and need it.
Let's all just agree, that he is just a self entitled bell end. He hasn't a clue what's going on, and him and Rees Mogg will bring back workhouses for the benefit of the surplus population. And we should be thankful. Cnut!!!
So what
Why should he it’s none of our business he probably is private but he can afford it I wish I could afford to go private
Surely our PM should proudly declare that if the NHS is good enough for us, it's good enough for him RishiSunak ? 🤔
I have private GP, what’s the problem. Work hard and get one.
Have a wild guess ffs
His refusal to answer is confirmation that he does
Of course he has, he has the money to be able to unlike us poor plebs!
Of course he does.
SallyPa88561263 Why shouldn’t he use a private GP in fact I hope he does…if the PM has a health problem then I want him seen straight away
Of course it’s relevant because if he used the NHS he would understand the problems Doctors, Nurses & other NHS staff are experiencing. DON’T ASK SOMEONE TO DO A JOB YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT !!
Why should he? What does it have to do with you or me? I am sick and tired of listening to whining about this kind of thing. If he is fortunate enough to be able to afford it and simultaneously remove some burden from the NHS, why not?
Why should he? Anyone at Sky have private health insurance? So what?
bbclaurak Do you have private health care Laura? On your salary I wouldn’t be surprised plus all the benefits you get working for Sky. one would be the ridiculous salary you are paid for atrocious biased interviewing
bbclaurak How dare she ask him if he has private health care. Thousands do because the health service and some of the staff are crap. If staff want to be respected they shouldn’t strike. I would give them a rise then clear out all the shit from the nhs and reform or privatise.
The answer is obvious, he is ready for the expected calapse of the nhs. ☹️😡🥺
Ridiculous media question. Ask the same of any leader or monarch depending on country
Of course he does. Who wouldn't.
It’s none of our business who his GP is, private or NHS!!
Isn’t that his business?
So, as I can see, he looks fairly healthy, unlike a fat portion of the U.K., and that is a pun, so I doubt he’s at the doctors on weekly basis, now if he was obese, then you could ask the question.
Of course he does and if you can afford it you should as well...
Indicative of the pathetic state of journalism atm. This is irrelevant. No one in any other job would answer the question as it none of your business. Does not make any difference on his ability to do his job.
So many people want people to use private doctors, consultants etc if they can afford too as they claim it doesn’t burden the NHS, indirectly it does burden the NHS though as the private doctors and GP’s would be working for the NHS instead !
Its none of your business
Why does it matter this isn’t a story surely as he is loaded he can pay for a private GP and it’s 1 less on the NHS?
good for him
Good. All people spend their money in different ways and its nobody elses business which ways. That includes wealthy PM's.
Rishi Sunak is just 'one of the lads' He would love to say he uses nhs like all his bolshy lad mates down the pub. Stop trying to destroy his 'jack the lad, pie n mash' persona!
This is irrelevant.
He’s on the phone at 0800, or waiting in a queue outside the local surgery door at 0800, hoping for an appointment. Daft question.
I assume he does
What does matter. He is Damned if he did … damned if he didn’t. If he has then there is one less person putting pressure on the NHS. Isn’t that a positive ? I’m sure lots of politicians have private insurance… digging deep into the barrel to create a story.
Of course he does! Do as I say and not as I do! Can't say I would blame him. He, most of all knows how hard the Tories have worked at dedtroying the NHS! The gial is to privatise healthcare not to save it!
So what!
If he said he does people would be saying he shouldn't because he can afford private, and if he says he doesn't then he's criticised for being out of touch. He's not my favourite person but poor guy can't win here
It’s not our business,if he didn’t have private health care,he’d be slated because of his wealth,but he will also be slated if he doesn’t use the NHS,damned if he does,damned if he doesn’t!! Not a great fan btw!!!!
I guarantee he went private to get that dick surgically removed from his neck
He is total s c u m
lolz
We should all have equal access to all aspects of healthcare - it should not depend on whether or not you can afford to pay.
If he is not using private health care it would be ridiculous. What a pathetic question. Will you adk same of Starmer or Davey
If he can afford it he should . Millionaires shouldn't burden the health system anyway (or claim child benefit )
Also known as yes
It is probably a good idea if Rishi doesn't use the NHS because isn't it clogged up enough with thousand's already . 🇬🇧👌
It’s a personal question every right not to answer
EVIL BEAST
Disgraceful. How can you govern if you don't use the same system? Applies to taxes as well.
Of course he does. As would i if i earnt that much
That's a yes or no question
Is it safe to say that he uses a private GP? Would anyone be shocked by this?
I have no problem with Sunak buying private health care for his family, but for him and the Tory party to be undermining the NHS and forcing the country down the same route for profit would be despicable! NHSCrisis
He's one of the richest people in the UK, he does what's best for people like him and isn't about to stick up for the working class.
He's stated that he has private healthcare.....he doesn't use what the plebs use FFS 🙄🙄🙄
What a non story, man who can afford to not use the NHS resources pays privately, one less person to need them
I would think it's highly likely he uses a private GP. I would too if I could afford it. If he used the NHS, I wonder what percentage of the population would ask why he wasn't paying privately given his wealth🤔 Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't!
Of course he doesn’t queue with the plebs. The question is redundant.
Of course he does
If that's all you can think of to attack him you are out of ammo.
He a millionaire don't think he be ringing 111
Privileged Wanker
That would be a yes!
His behaviour confirms that he does.
Sunak refused to release his tax returns also! Honesty is for the little people, not Tories!
Of course he does. He can afford to, reduces the burden on NHS too.
Obviously he does
That will be a yes then
If I had his money I would!
It is no one’s business but his own
