She most lightweight, insincere, clueless Health Secretary in living memory.
yes agree but maybe she might be good in the jungle like matt !
Lincolnshire’s best!
Competent MPs are getting thin on the ground and if they're smart getting out before their name is tied to disastrous election results.
Think your forgetting Jeremy (c)hunt
Nick Hancock,!!!worst rhan that scumbag
Absolutely bollox. I work on the wards and we’re so overwhelmed. People waiting in beds for weeks, sometimes months for a diagnosis or procedure.
Tories lie. It’s what they do.
Y Y ye b b but every month at least one trust does better than the average.
@@TheLucanicLordbut what if you lowered the average so much above average is shit
@@jonathanhurst980 I could not have said it better.
I would like to see her after seeing 65 paitents in my clinc in 1 day
Or trying to do cpr on a patient who is arresting when you have five beds in a four bed bay on an acute medical unit with an attached sdec. One of the best hospitals in the north West and it's bloody dangerous
Prime example of being promoted above their level of competence..... Way above!
First question is 'does she have a medical background'? If not then another minister in a role unsuitable to their talents (if they have any).
The only doctor I could find who has been responsible for health pre-dates the NHS : Christopher Addison in 1920. So no medical Doctor ever responsible for the NHS?
Victoria sponge for brains
Mad Cow Disease? Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE)
LMAO
The fuck you just say about Victoria Sponge?
@@spartandud3😂😂😂😂
No, I'm Victoria Sponge!
Tax the rich. Tax the rich.
There’s no point. An increased NHS budget will only lead to higher profits for the private shareholders. There won’t be an increase in standards of care.
@@Adamfandango so you're a damned if you do damned if you don't. Not a great attitude to have. Just keep the status quo is what you're saying. Well done.
@@redmed10 I’m saying we need to reorganise the NHS and remove private profit
She couldn’t give a toss about the health of the general public. Her husband is CEO of British Sugar - what a disgusting conflict of interest!
Sugar!! How appropriate 😅
Let's not forget when she was drugs minister recommending cannabis stay illegal while her husband also has shares in cannabis grown for the medical export market
Just turn it to the “American Medicare/Medicaid” system. All people will be covered (in USA it’s exclusive for retirees for the former and poor for the later ) and the government will pay the bills, but the providers can be private clinics or public hospitals. That can relive the bottlenecks and better competition enhances quality.
And he will have free private healthcare , therefore so will she!
i often forget the right can feel love too
The worst, absolute worst, health secretary the UK has had and considering who has gone before that is saying something.
Nah, come on, Hunt. Yes this woman is just the same sort of arrogant selfish tory robot! But she hasn't had enough time and there isn't even enough of the NHS left ...for her to ruin it further than Hunt and their tories deliberately have.
meh, she's the result rather than the cause. Her colleagues did the damage. She just won't do much to fix that.
@@maxsuicide4767 She will just be trying to scrape what profits she can from whats left in investing into healthcare companies (and other tory scandals). She will support big pharma, and work for them afterward, lobbying and such.
As a human being with no soul and connection to spirit. She will live an unforfilling soulless life wrought with karma. :)
It’s hard to top Jeremy Hunt. You know, the one who had a 44k bathroom installed outside his private offices while arguing against junior doctor salary increases before the mass exodus to Australia? And before you say those stories were false, I ask you why he didn’t sue for defamation… because there is obviously truth to it.
Hunt was the one that destroyed the NHS. Perhaps they should have a health secretary that has actually worked in the health service. But the Tories never wanted the NHS.
I can’t understand why ministers lying to their people constantly is not a crime
There is no law for these bastards. Only for working class people. The rich can get away with anything in UK now. Millions on the streets is every day and nights refusing to move untill in stops is the only way to stop this shit
It's because they make the laws. They aren't likely to pass laws which criminalise themselves.
They forget then they won’t be in power for ever , even more stupidity
because things wud have t change n the tori party wud all be in jail lol
She is the MP for where I grew up. She came into our sixth form during one period for a politics discussion type thing. She got utterly, utterly rinsed by a room full of 17/18 year olds. Never thought I'd see the day where she was a fucking cabinet minister.
I doubt if she's ever fucking.
I had the same with Mark Prisk. He seems shocked that my mate and I looked up his voting record and challenged him on it 😂
My niece is a nurse. She has to pay 17 pounds a day to park in the hospital public carpark because the staff car park is full when she gets there. That's 85 pounds a week.
Staff should NOT have to pay for parking!
@@magravy1
In addition to paying in full in the public car park when the inadequate staff car park is full, they also have to pay in advance for scratchcards for the occasional times when they do get in the staff car park.
...and this is the tory health secretary. God help us all
we need some of that Vietnamese justice for those who stole billions from the NHS in dodgy ppe etc
That might be going a tad far but you do have a point.
Personally, I don't think it's going far enough
I never thought I'd agree with something like that, but honestly, I'm so fed up with the injustice, I don't think I'd shed a tear if it did happen. Just saying
That’s what I said while listening to the news this lunch time!
@@bereal6590I suspect you're being flippant, but if you genuinely think that it's great to have an authoritarian government decide to murder people you don't like them you're a bit of a scumbag...
Her mouth was moving, yet no truths came out?
I feel that every interview with this minister should begin, "Are you OK? Do you know where you are?"
ENOUGH..Dear God GE..
"All I'm trying to do is"...pulling the wool over the public's eyes?
Never Trust a Tory!
think labour any better?
@@rogerwood4846 Yes
I don't understand why its such a mess with all the extra Brexit money coming in?
Brexit money?! That lie on the side of a bus you mean? 🤣
What bus what bus i never saw no bus 🤣🤣🤣
@@iandawe948 lol the bus that lazy, untidy, habitual liar and fat guy used to ride. Before even his own party got tired of his lies and ousted him. 🙂

@@hus390 No.
Is this the best of us? The best our country can produce? Clueless, wet, lightweight,
Many people in this country (the UK) do not realise that there is no entrance requirement to becoming an MP. Sadly only a minority follow politics, and therefore would be aware of what happened when Johnson hollowed out the parliamentary Conservative party, eliminating many intelligent moderates because they would not support him/Brexit. When you only have people who think Johnson and Brexit are a good idea to choose from, it is no wonder we end up with lightweight ministers. Anyway, they don't care. The mission as far as the Conservatives are concerned is to bleed the country's assets dry for their own benefit and attempt to maintain power indefinitely. Vote them out while you still can.
@@user-ks6ch9rw2d ONE NATION TORIES ARE WORST
Trusting any Tory with the NHS is like trusting a starving crocodile with your pet chihuahua! 😤
This health secretary is completely out of her depth; not only tha,t she's living in cloud cuckoo land! Still, that's par for tories.

Easily one of the most annoying politicians out there
One of many😅
They are not politicians. They’re bull shitters. I mean, how can they even qualify as an MP capable of doing anything without any qualification for specific skills and experience? That there is no champion, but a beggar.
…just an example of ‘inherited job’. “Daddy was an mp for the tories, so I get his job”. That’s democracy?
Name a Tory minister that isn't annoying? You'll also struggle to find backbencher that isn't!
Would you buy a car from this creature, I think not.
Hell in a handcart comes to mind.
I wouldn't buy a bag of sweets off her,no mind a car.

Every day they remain in charge is another year its gonna take to fix the mess

Three days parked at a French hospital…..no charge.
Park for three days at a Welsh hospital it's free
@@BritishRosie-es3zrexactly 💯 %.
Similarly in Scotland.
Flying by the seat of her pants. The nervous swallow gives it away.
Would you trust this minister , me neither .🤮
The nation voted for Boris Johsnon and for Brexit.
@@joelboy19and your point is .🤔
@@chrisstones1249 That the people voted for Boris and for Brexit, that they are foolish and I do not trust that they wouldnt trust a minister that wore a sausage for a hat.
Is anyone else wondering what the heck she's babbling about?
I really found it difficult, I got a massive migrane, paracetamol didn't help
She herself probably doesn't even know what she's on about!😂
WORD SALAD AT ITS WORST 🤬
She does babble. Nothing much answered. Babble and waffle!! Useless.
Scowl,shake head, spin bull, repeat.
"Oh, but look, the NHS treats loads of people and we're spending lots of money. We're trying but it's all too big for my giblet-head to deal with". Last week I spent eleven hours in A&E to see the only ENT specialist on duty, covering both adults and children across the whole hospital. She was brilliant when I got to see her, but it shouldn't be like this.
This what happens when all the "good" Tories either leave the party or get thrown out of it. I think the word "dregs" comes to mind
The idea that talking to hospitals about parking fees is insane and so out of touch. The hospitals dont control it, its another thing that has been privatised off and companies are profiting from peoples suffering
They sold so much they forgot who owns it.
That woman is useless and so irritating.
Labour?!
The tories have been the government for over a decade, so if the tories are unable to implement a change, it is their own MP’s that would have prevented a change.
Tories want to privatise the NHS. The electorate does not want a private health service. We do not want the tories to privatise the NHS. Tories are for big businesses, and tories want to hand over the NHS to a big business for them to strip the assets and vast amounts of money from the NHS. Tories have privatised many of our infrastructure, which have failed miserably. They take any money they have been paid from the public and give it all to the shareholders. They do not invest in any of these companies. MORALS NOT MONEY STOP THE TORIES STOP THE LIES STOP MONES BOAT
Labour under Starmer want to privatize it too.
A vast number of our newly trained junior doctors leave our ‘wonderful’ NHS to work in Australia, the US, New Zealand etc all of whom have some form of part private systems - funny that. Happy to work in that system, just not in the UK.
It's not a political party thing, it's a hijack thing. Government has no money and no competence of application. It used money demanded from us with menaces, then pays private industries to apply their directives, claimed to be on our behalf even though we have no say.
Unfortunately so do Labour under Starmer. Still, i'd rather take my chances with anyone but the Tories.
In Scotland patients, family and staff don’t have to pay for parking, because it’s abhorrent…..
That's not true. Some hospitals you do have to pay at and as it's contracted it can't be cancelled anytime soon.
Eradicating rough sleeping by criminalising them! Has she not read the bill? Also, since when is gender associated healthcare for children an "ideology"?
When will there be politicians who just accept they failed instead of getting into word salads of trying to explain and blame the failure on something else?
To solve a problem you must get to the root of it.
The problem is the tories. What have they done over the last 14 years?
14 years of austerity +
under-investing in the NHS +
brexit (staff shortages) +
£BILLIONS of taxpayers' money that was wasted or went missing in the tories' PPE scandal
= the cost of living crisis and lack of resources.
a health secretary who couldn't give a monkeys about the health of the nation
You can just say Tory, everything else is implied.

@Hus390 same troll comment on a different place. No one wants the US system.
When did she become Health Secretary, have they changed AGAIN?!
Jeremy did enough damage between 2012-18. They didn’t really care about the position after he left, hence why we have been seeing so many strikes since then.
Today we are able to announce 🤮🤮. We have invested billions here, billions there, so no-one should wait, no one should be in pain and no one should pay to park their car in a hospital car park! There, sorted!
This bill that criminalises homelessness, does not criminalise homelessness - have you ever heard such rubbish!
She refers to them as " people who don't have homes " so funny.
Yes evrey single day the torys come out with such desperate bs day in day out 12 months a year
The saying that prevention is better than cure can aptly be applied to politics too : don't elect tories and prevent an inferior NHS.
What's the point of Victoria Atkins?
Whats the point of any tory.
She saves somebody else from having to go on telly and be a total prat.
To smile and nod her head when Sunak speaks at prime minister’s questions
She's truly awful. Just what you would expect from a tory.

hopefully she wil lose her seat with the rest of her cronies
Another hapless incompetent in this 'government '.
Last 4 months, last 4 months, last 4 months. Thats what they keep on repeating as much as they can.
It’s the faux look of concern on her face that really boils my piss, at least Steve Barclay had the good grace to look like he really didn’t give a toss……
Wish the press would speak directly with the underpaid understaffed and overworked NHS staff and not the overpaid lying and misleading government.
When my wife died in hospital,and my brain was shot . I had problems in paying parking charges. I suppose in this society my first thoughts should have been about my duty to the market.
Pathetic... where's the plan? where's the money?
I still cannot undeertand how these tories are able to sleep at night knowing people have and are dying while they wait for a NHS England, that has been decimated by her party over 14 years......how do they sleep at night?
I wouldn't trust her (or any of the Nat-C party) to run a raffle let alone the NHS.
What about those promised "40 new hospitals"?
Still arguing, black is white also two and two equal pi!
Talk to your local hospital because they set the prices? Er, not round here, the car park's run by a private money-grabbing set of... well, you know... I'm okay with paying if the money goes to the hospital, but it doesn't, it just gets siphoned off to private companies. Utterly disgraceful.
Another classic example of a minister woefully incompetent in running their post
#GeneralElectionNow
She is painful to watch.
The answers start at one unrelated point and end at another
I live in Essex. I've been waiting for an EEG scan since 2019... who's been in charge during that time???
People going to A&E will need to wait at least 4 hours to even get seen. This is not good enough!
The tories age hell bent on crippling the NHS
Sums up this party on the edge of extinction that this is the best they can come up with for a key service. They have just given up, going through the motions, and stealing every penny they can
Bunch of 6th formers in the cabinet.
What you need to remember is by success of the NHS for us it means a good, working NHS. For the Tories it means damage, decay and outright destruction then sale. If private healthcare companies and providers are making money, they're happy. Since there's ultimately going to be a nice cushy multi hundred thousand a year salary job on the end of it.
Summary:
"160. context. 1.3million.74,000. prioritised. 4 months. 2.4billion. context. 1.3 million. 74,000. local. 10 years. culture wars. experience. context. improve. targets. laugh. announce. 160. reasonable. deal."
Meaningless drivel.
Blood on their hands, people are dieing. This is like covid mark 2
The waiting list fell by 36,100 to 7.54 million as of the end of February, but only because people waiting for an appointment in a community service were not counted.
I recently had a scan fast tracked by a 2nd doctor i saw because i had one of these ' community diagnostic ' referrals she mentions to speed the processes up. I waited 8 weeks when the scan was fast tracked because the doctor said i would be waiting too long. A completely misleading statement to say this community diagnostic is speeding things up.
The faux compassion for rough sleepers when the bill demonises them
Under Labour NO waiting list issues; also, highest satisfaction. Chew on that HS
Out of her depth!
"National Car Parks" who run the majority of hospital car parks and set prices are "at local level" are they? Victoria is brilliant.
The nhs has been lifted out of reach of the population.
7.8 million waiting for treatment now having to wait 18 months or more.
Ambulances take hours to get to someone with a heart attack.
Ask why did it take so long to pay our doctors so no strike action no waiting list ?
They still only have settled with consultants (who still have a strike mandate if this yr's pay review body is well below inflation). SAS doctors, GPs and junior doctors are still in dispute. In an election yr, you'd have thought they'd have prioritized this.
the screams of a dying government
She always looks bewildered.
Should come with a damage to health warning, she has had a charisma, common sense and empathy bypass.
160 Trusts.
That's the problem.
Each Trust has to have all their own non-medical staff to run those Trusts.
There should be ONE National Health Service, or four, one for each nation.
Not 160.
& you think that if they did that they would be no need for none medical staff to administer it? Utter waffle.
@@1inchPunchBowl
That's such a strawman comment because I didn't say anything of the sort.
Of course there would still be administrative roles, but those roles wouldn't need to be replicated 160 times.
I think everyone except you understood that.
England, NI, Scotland Wales already have their systems that make up the national healthcare service in the UK as a whole. I think you are confusing NHS Trusts/Hospitals with those…..I think….
@@PassiveAgressive319
No, I don't think it's me that's confused.
Each Trust runs as an individual business and therefore requires posts that would be unnecessary if they weren't.
Those posts are replicated in every Trust.
@@dondoodat that’s why NHS England exists🤷♀️
Who even is this health Secretary? Never even heard of this woman
The tories are appalling a general election can’t come soon enough
How is the £ 2.4 billion going to be spent? Could anyone provide a link?
I can but you'd need to run a proxy because he's in the Cayman Islands.
Private sector im assuming.
They are looking at the donor list to see who's next for for the money for doing eff all.
They complain about the number of people to sick to work , while making sure the number only goes up .
Her face just screams out what am I having for lunch .she doesn’t give a tot
She claims that there are hospitals where the waiting times in A&E have been cut and the waiting times for operations have been cut but offers no proof as to where this is happening whereas the NHS themselves contradict these claims and regularly say that they staff are overwhelmed in the hospitals at times .
You get what you vote for a Tory England
"Our plan is working" said Fishy Whishy today for the hundredth time this month as NHS waiting times were announced.Did he take the blame when they rose?
We are talking about this after 14 years of this government. Good to know that they have now a plan for the future.
Constantly referring to treatment numbers is so telling. I don’t think I can come up with a less relevant stat, so respect to her in a way. Lots of people in a reasonably highly populated country use hospitals. Wow. Grossly overwhelmed and underfunded ones.
Tory minister job vacancy.
No skill, experience or qualifications needed.
the shareholders from the private services are doing amazingly well no doubt making millions out of the NHS !!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
FairPlay to LBC for telling Secretary of States they're lying.
Where is her motivation? She is out at the next election and is not going to come up with a single good idea.
How can you ever fix what you don't acknowledge?
Tory clowns
I’ve heard some Ministers are doing well too. But I won’t name them. All you need to know is THE PLAN IS WORKING.
I don't know why people interview politicians, they don't understand what their doing and/or lie about it. Remember the on a politician's grave 'He lies stioll'!
Waiting lists always come down at some point, they just pick and chose the when to pick to he stats from.
weak weak weak - bottom of the barrel - It's a DISGRACE !!!!
