Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt’s deputy Philip Dunne MP – who when asked why patients had no beds due to his Governmemnt’s NHS crisis, suggested patients should just ‘sit on seats’  – has lost his job. The Conservative MP for Ludlow was sacked from his health minister position during Theresa May’s shambolic first day of her cabinet reshuffle.

“May I press the Minister a little bit further on the photographs, which were taken by a constituent of mine, of people sleeping on the floor(in Hospital waiting rooms)?

These poorly people had been waiting on chairs for hours and had not been given a bed or a trolley. What I did not hear in his response was an apology. Is it not now time for the Minister to apologise to those affected?” Dunno was asked in parliament. Watch:

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
