Oh you didn’t, you twat.

If it’s “not the International Health Service” 🥴🍺

does that lame bantz apply to NHS staff too?

Should Spain take the mirror attitude to UK pensioners on Costa del Retirement?

Do you have a brain? Or did it fall out during one of your vapid videos?

You should know full well that EU citizens, for example, make up 5% of the population but 10% of the doctors.

That’s supply-side heavy.

And they are younger - critical when the overwhelming burden on the NHS is the aging population.

So put down your cynical dog whistle.

Of course everyone should make a fair contribution...

And data have repeatedly shown that those with the highest cost-to-contribution ratios in the country are British natives.

Your tweet heavily implies otherwise & panders to casual racism. You’re a disgrace.

I’m sick of the tabloid false narrative of “mass migration strains the NHS” when UK immigration does no such thing.

It’s trivial relative to the ageing problem. And with FoM, we have an amazing deal for our expats.

That the Health Secretary should peddle both this false “mass/uncontrolled immigration” vs NHS narrative...

then the dog whistle “not the International Health Service” line...

... is not just a disservice.

It’s a disgrace.

And an insult to our vital international NHS staff.
