Boris Johnson appears to forget his party has run the NHS for the last 10 years
Boris Johnson appeared to have a memory lapse and forgot his party has been in charge for the last decade. Johnson claimed the Tories “have got to do better” on the NHS after key figures showed the service was performing at the worst level on record.
Johnson told BBC Breakfast:
We have got to do better, I don’t deny that
Health secretary Matt Hancock was accused of being “staggeringly out of touch” after he claimed on Thursday that the NHS was performing “better than it ever has”.
After official figures showed a record 4.42 million people were waiting for treatment, the prime minister said they had to do more.
Labour meanwhile has promised to scrap NHS privatisation and return to a publicly-funded, publicly-run health service.

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
