We spoke to the Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting and began by asking him if he thinks the NHS is broken, and why.

It wasn’t just the back and forth on Diane Abbott distracting from the Labour Party’s announcement on cutting NHS waiting lists.The NHS is broken. It’s going through what is objectively the worst crisis in its history, and we’ve seen 14 years of chaos, mismanagement and bad political leadership that led to record waiting lists before the pandemic and rising waiting lists since the pandemic.

We’ve made a commitment to deliver national standards in social care so that wherever you live, wherever you’re from, whether you need older care in later life, or whether you need disabled people’s care, that you will get the support that you need consistently across the country. As with the NHS, it is going to take time to build to where we want to be.
