Chris Whitty: People who try to blame lockdowns for the delays to NHS treatments like cancer 'have no understanding of health at all' and are inverting reality for their own political agenda.
That means Tory MP Chris Philp has no understanding of health but tried to manipulate people's cancer in order to further endanger their lives, for his own political agenda. @CPhilpOfficial
That means Talk Radio host Julia Hartley-Brewer has no understanding of health but tried to manipulate people's cancer in order to further endanger their lives, for her own political agenda. @JuliaHB1
That means 'C/conservative pundit' Tim Montgomerie has no understanding of health but tried to manipulate people's illnesses in order to further endanger their lives, for his own political agenda. @Montie
That means the Chief of Conservative Home Mark Wallace, has no understanding of health but tried to manipulate people's cancer in order to further endanger their lives, for his own political agenda.
Can you imagine if, during the years of Brexit renegotiations (2020-24), journalists had grilled the Tories on their manifesto promise to get Brexit done.... as much as they're now grilling Labour on whether they're "taxing working people"?
It shows they CAN do their jobs.
They just chose not to with the Tories.
Look at this.
It's very good journalism by @WilfredFrost, exposing that the Labour manifesto used the technicality of not directly taxing working people, but it still hits them.
"Get Brexit Done" was literally the title of the Tory manifesto and was NEVER challenged like this.
Boris Johnson started renegotiations SIX MONTHS after winning an election on a promise to end the Brexit negotiations.
So there's nothing subjective about the fact that the Tory government was elected on a lie.
Yet NOT ONE news station categorically communicated that fact.
