#BBCLauraK asks #AndrewMitchell if, in some way, the government or some its ministers may have been responsible for #Knowsley

"There are accusations though that the government has created an environment where feelings against asylum seekers have been stirred up," she says.

(ahem) 🔽

#WhoMakesTheNazis

#AndrewMitchell explains to #BBCLauraK that, "as soon as the two fiscal tests are met then we can return to 0.7%"

"in November 2022 the Chancellor announced the conditions to return to 0.7% would now not be met until after 2027/28" (source below)

The two tests Mitchell mentions do not seem to be conditional of this timescale. 🙄

It's more deception here.

#BBCLauraK asks #AndrewMitchell if his party will commit at the next General Election to re-instate the 0.7% contribution to Foreign Aid.

He replies, "I can tell your viewers the DEC has donated £54M to the earthquake crisis"

The Disasters Emergency Committee is an umbrella group of UK charities and NOTHING to do with government. Does he hope that we do not know this?

The decline in standards in British institutions is illustrated by the behaviour of Richard Sharp-The fact that he hasn't yet resigned shows that rich and powerful people think they can just 'get away with it'. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64610122 #bbclaurak

"I can tell you categorically that there has been no conversations on pay whatsoever with Rishi Sunak or Stephen Barclay in any way, shape, or form," Sharon Graham, United leader on #BBCLauraK

This directly contradicts what Barclay said earlier

22 Jan 2023 — Barclay issued a statement insisting he had had “constructive talks with unions about this coming year's pay process for 2023/24”

Tomorrow will be the largest ever #NHSStrike

"Rishi Sunak is registered with a private West London GP practice which charges £250 for 30 mins, and guarantees that all patients with urgent concerns about their health will be seen on the day."

#BBCLauraK #Kuenssberg informs #Sunak 300 people a week are dying waiting in ambulances outside of hospitals

#Sunak replies, "When it comes to numbers, even the NHS don't recognise those numbers."

How very callous !!!

#Laurak says the values come from the Royal College of Emergency Medicine.

But he won't have any of what she says and refuses to move from his line above.

“I’m not going to sit here and promise this will be resolved overnight.”

The Prime Minister tells #BBCLauraK that “by next spring” we will have eliminated all those waiting over a year. He asks for the public to hold him to account over #NHS performance.

#BBCLauraK #Kuenssberg

"will you talk about this year's pay award now," Laura asks Sunak
(she means 2022)

We now know the government's plan is begin negotiation, comment upon and discuss pay settlements for 2023

You may understand now why no one wanted to get round the table with the unions back in December

This is called ..... delay

Negotiation for April 2023 will commence and all of the efforts and hardships of those who went out last month will come to to naught.

Clever 🙄

#BBCLauraK #Kuenssberg

"Those who come here illegally will be deported but we will need new laws to implement this," @RishiSunak

But we have 'enjoyed' this set of circumstances since 1971.

No new laws are required

Section 3(1)(a) of the Immigration Act 1971 states that, persons who are not British citizens shall not enter the UK unless given leave in accordance with provisions in the Immigration Act 1971 or made under that act.

#BBCLauraK #Kuenssberg

It's not about who the Health Secretary was. Waiting time delays are due to Covid @RishiSunak mendaciously replies.

Tellingly, Laura can't show him graphs like this one below which demonstrate how waiting times have gone up year upon year under the Tories because, rather cleverly, Sunak has only agreed to be interviewed in No 10 and , thus, the viewers will only know of what he says without recourse to factual check 🙄

#BBCLauraK #Kuenssberg

"Asks when do you think your measures are going to reduce ambulance delay?"

#Sunak replies

"I am confident we will have practically eliminated those who have been waiting for over a year and a half for treatment"

THAT'S THE POINT!

(of course after a year an half these people will no longer be waiting but their position in the 'year and a half queue' will be taken by others)

🤦‍♀️

#BBCLauraK #Kuenssberg

Fuck me, Sunak won't let Laura get a word in edgeways.

This is the arrogant position of the privileged smeared across my TV screen.

It is this apparent lack of compassion or feeling that signifies him as a bastard.
