The only thing NHS strikes will serve up this Christmas is untold misery to millions needing vital care
A chilling risk but Lab MPs on picket
HEALTH Secretary Steve Barclay admits for the first time today that NHS strikes will pose a “significant risk’’ to patients.
No kidding.
The chilling fact is that 15,000 operations could be cancelled this week as nurses join ambulance drivers in mass walkouts.
At the same time dozens of hard left Labour MPs are planning to defy their leader Keir Starmer by joining picket lines.
They know there’s a snowball’s chance in hell that they will ever be punished.
During Starmer’s time in charge, Labour has pocketed £15million from its union paymasters.
These are the same militants who will turn the NHS into a virtual no-go zone during what is already its most difficult time of year.
The only thing they will serve up this Christmas is untold misery to millions needing vital care.
Amazingly, there is some light at the end of the bleak tunnel.
We report today on the remarkable achievements of Croydon University Hospital.
Following a miraculous internal restructure it is actually treating more patients than before the pandemic.
This at a time when more than seven million people are waiting nationally for treatment.
It shows there are solutions to the problems in the NHS, if there is sufficient political will to find them.
But don’t expect that from Labour while they remain so deeply in hock to the unions.
Tik-Tok Channel evil
EVIL people smugglers will stop at nothing to profit from desperate migrants.
Their latest tactic is to offer cut price deals for those who bring along their siblings when they cross the Channel.
They brazenly market their offers on social media site TikTok, claiming it is easy to reach British shores and make money here.
It is an outrage that these deadly adverts are allowed to flourish.
Why haven’t these criminals been shut down?
Home as heroes
It was a Saturday night like no other.
The country came to a halt as the Three Lions gave everything in their brave defeat to France.
Millions packed into pubs and watched at home as they struggled against France — who won the World Cup last time round.
Skipper Harry Kane’s second penalty miss was truly agonising.
But once again Gareth Southgate’s young team have made us proud.
They will return home from Qatar as defeated heroes.
