The doctor phoned me way after her shift to say she couldn’t go home with a clear conscience without calling me. She then called the hospital and I’m booked in first thing for bloods and a scan. f*** the Tories and their lazy GPs narrative.

The reason journalists persisted in asking about the PM’s condition at the briefing is that good reporters can smell a lie a mile off. If you don’t ask questions, you don’t get answers. If you don’t get answers, even more reason to keep kicking at that door for the truth.
