So, a right-wing think-tank claims the NHS has been “nothing special” during this unprecedented global pandemic.
The Institute of Economic Affairs, also claim it’s a “myth” to say the NHS performed well and we have “no reason to be grateful” for its existence.
Nonsense. 1/8

This think-tank counts Tory Peers and Tory donors on its board.

I’ve never known a nurse who wants to be a hero, they do not ask for our adulation.

Perhaps the Institute for Tory Cronies want to turn up at an ICU & demonstrate to the staff how they would do things better?

You will always be our national treasure.
