Even Sir Rod Stewart has had enough of the Tories – 14 reactions to his live Sky News call
When Sky News presenter Sarah-Jane Mee hosted the Your Say phone-in on the state of the NHS, she could have predicted that she would take calls from people with heartbreaking stories of their own or loved ones’ difficulties getting timely treatment.
She can’t have expected to hear from Sir Rod Stewart, but the singer and long-standing vocal Conservative had been moved and outraged by what he had heard.
‘I would like to pay for 10 or 20 scans …Because it seems ridiculous that this particular scanning clinic was empty and there are people dying because they can’t get scans.’
‘I, personally, have been a Tory for a long time, but I think this government should stand down now and give the Labour party a go at it.’
The last time he landed inside our radar, he was filling potholes in the road and now he’s going to provide healthcare. If he fancies going into the affordable housing market, he’ll have achieved more in a couple of years than successive Tory governments have in 13.

You could give me all the guesses in the world and Sir Rod Stewart "calling into Sky News to say he wants a Labour Government" would *never* be on my bingo card https://t.co/NGdIxt6dsG

The thing about Sir Rod Stewart is that deep down I’ve always thought he was a bit of a legend. However, his stunt calling Sky News today has changed my mind completely. Now I think he’s an absolute, total fucking mega legend with the deluxe legend upgrade package.
