An NHS junior doctor just tore Rishi Sunak a new one and it’s an important, magnificent listen
Rishi Sunak was on Nick Ferrari’s LBC show on Wednesday taking calls from listeners and we’re very glad he did because one caller in particular is about to go wildly viral.
It’s a junior doctor called Olivia who wanted to have a word with the prime minister about his government’s treatment of the NHS and its staff. Quite a few words, in fact.
And the faces Sunak insists on pulling – did he know he was on video? – surely tells you all you need to know about the man.
Olivia(Junior Doctor) rips into Rishi Sunak.
"I think it's amazing that we're blaming the increase in waiting lists on doctors going on strike… everyone is leaving… a happy workforce is your responsibility… your staff aren't happy & that's your fault…"#LBC pic.twitter.com/w0Jg1jsgYC

Give Olivia her own show.
And here are just a few of the many things people said about it.
He looks so out of his depth he’s in need of a scuba suit

The smirk on his face tells you everything you need to know.

Rishi Sunak’s suggestion that doctor strikes are to blame for growing NHS waiting lists is rejected by caller Olivia, a junior doctor, who tells the Prime Minister: “It’s your responsibility. It’s your fault.”

Does he know he's on video? He's rolling his eyes at her and he's clearly annoyed at this hard working NHS worker, but also clearly out of his depth.

God bless that amazing caller. She demolished him with simple polite facts.

To conclude …

And this.
Lying little prick…
Sunak tells LBC listeners that the NHS waiting lists are caused by doctors striking.
So you know…
The waiting list was at 4 million pre-pandemic
It’s now at 7 million
And yet he’s blaming this on fewer than 10 days of strike action.
Unreal.

Still, best not to criticise Sunak too much though.
Rishi Sunak, "We should not take any lectures from anybody about our record. Our record is fantastic. It's better than everyone else's."
