I lived in Japan for a few years and the health service over there is on a completely different level to ours. Almost made a mockery of this idea that the NHS is the pride of Britain. It's not the pride of Britain, it's the unfortunate shame of Britain.

Come on people is labour the answer?? Labour in Wales have been in power for 25 years and the NHS in Wales is in worse state than England NHS doesn't that tell you enough..

There are 3 thousand gp jobless currently leaving uk coz they can’t get job .. why would doctor train to become jobless

You are going to do your best to privatise the lot! The hospital where you were treated Wes is now pretty well under private hands . You do not have a clue. You are taking private health companies money to fund your campaign. I stand to be corrected if this not true. Most people would prefer to pay a direct tax to fund the NHS instead of our money being split into funding wars e.g Israel/ Gaza

If we going to wait for tax avoidance we will wait years

Every election every party rattle on about how they will have it working like Swiss watch, yet here we are with a shameful NHS.

Cutting down on immigration would help, the NHS is simply over run with people using it yet have paid nothing towards it.

I live in London, took my granpa (Heart Patient) to NHS for a chest pain, we waited and first time he was seen was after 6 hours of check-in. NHS is a circus. I am voting for Labour

[stoutyeoman]

Wes Streeting has been talking to 'millions of voters'? He must be quicker than Superman to have spoken to millions of people in less than a month. Perhaps he can work miracles.

All profit from all US airlines doesn't total half the money spent on Ukraine.

[matthewbain]

hes got some front laugh and smile the problems away vote reform

[mrblue]

I remember when Labour were in power you had the 4 hour time in AE now under conservatives your lucky you been seen in 24 hrs so all you conservative voters on here who probably go private
Should look at this it is a fact I had sepsis couldn't get out of bed had to wait 6 hrs for ambulance then to go to AE waiting in a corridor and end up in resus after being there for 6 hrs the staff done a good job but shouldn't have taken that long

[grahamkearnon]

At least Labour acknowledging the desparate state of health, unless your a princess, eh Anne.

[boulevard]

Susanna just doesn't listen does she?

[danielrawlings]

Each time you create a credit, you simultaneously create a debt, cancelling each other out.
In absolute terms, money doesn't exist.

[NigelThompson-hbjg]

It would seem Mr Streeting is one of the many millions in the UK who have no idea of the difference between tax 'avoidance' and 'evasion'. Labour were the worst instigators of tax avoidance with their credit scheme. The basic tax free system for earners under certain thresholds is part of 'avoidance'.

[danielrawlings]

It won't be long before NHS waiting list is in double digits.

[danwiddison]

i hate to say it but he sounds generally unsure and a bit wobbly. Doesn't inspire confidence or trust.

[surindergrewal]

Susana got real hard job holding apparently the most clever most slimy most political people to account daily - got to be on top of your game - well done 👍

[Ukejuggler]

i work in the NHS and people are not ready for the truth You need private insurance to come in, in the way that it works in Europe. Both parties cannot commit to it as the people of Britian are deluded. thats the plain truth. There is no other way.
