Rees-Mogg says nurses aren’t being paid enough because the NHS wastes money on ‘silly things’

Citing The S*n, he said one 74 year-old man was asked if he was pregnant during a consultation. We're back to facts don't matter, aren't we?

Jacob Rees-Mogg has joined a long list of Tory MPs who have tried (and failed) to rationalise why we can’t pay our nurses more.

The head of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has urged the Prime Minister to do the “decent thing” as thousands of nurses stage their second walkout over pay.

Speaking on the picket line at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, RCN general secretary Pat Cullen said the strikes can be brought to an end if the Government moves on its current offer.

The RCN has warned that strikes could go on for six months unless an agreement can be reached.

The Government has said the pay rise demanded by the union is unaffordable.

It also claimed to have accepted in full the recommendations of the independent pay review body – even though the body isn’t independent at all.

Appearing on Politics Live, Rees-Mogg said nurses aren’t getting a pay rise because the NHS is squandering its cash on “silly things”, citing a 74 year-old man who was allegedly asked if he was pregnant.

Watch the bizarre clip in full below:

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.
