Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer asked if they would use private healthcare #itvdebate #itvnews

[lifefullsize]

Starmer lied. This is the only time I would give credit to Rishi for not lying.

[philharris]

Starmer gave a political answer. Money is not a problem for both, and if your loved one required emergency treatment you would obviously seek private treatment.

[Ghajahha]

Even poor people will try and use private care

[tesslerfy]

Anyone who cared about their family would do anything to get them the care they need. So Imo is clearly lying

[darussianping]

Liar, of course you would because he can afford it.

[Jdg]

lol, if my wife worked at Morrisons it doesn’t mean I’d have to shop there 😅

[tftstudios]

Least rishi was honest - and those who have the money would do anything to protect their families. I certainly do and would

[fpsceid]

This is Labour in a nutshell! Trying to impress with no real substance.

[Darwizzy_]

Who does he think he’s gonna win over by saying that

[JakeM]

Sir Kier is in the top 3% of all earners. Should he really be using up NHS resources and contributing to the queues?

[HistoryForYouOfficial]

I actually respect Sunak for being honest here.

[dougals]

At least Sunak was honest. Every person in the world would pay for quicker help if they could afford it. That doesnt mean we should its just the reality of NHS waiting lists

[angrynortherner]

So Starmer has a net worth of 7m+ and wouldn’t use private healthcare for a loved one?? 🐂 💩

[Lunar_Pendragon]

The best answer is quite clear: "yes, of course I would, but I shouldn't have to, and none of us should have to."

[reeceearl-harding]

At Least rishi was being honest, tbf I think everyone would if we had the money for it especially with the waiting times as long as they are

[michaelquinn]

My wife works in McDonald’s so I only eat Big Macs. What a silly argument.

[Lunar_Pendragon]

I respect Sunak for at least being honest. For what it's worth at this point, he comes across as more sincere and human.

[taylorscott]

"if you felt that that was the only way forward"
- "no"

[Blazeproudman]

I don’t believe a word out of his mouth.

[tonyryan]

Sir Keir, he is such an honest guy. He wont use private health care but went to a private school.

Reform.
