So all the stuff about being more trustworthy and getting more done than Boris was a load of old guff and he knew it. These people will say almost anything to get elected and then worry about the consequences which all too often will be promotion, titles, Westminster gravy train...

At least the government is working on some pratical solutions - training more doctors and nurses, increasing surgery hours, etc. However, this is not a problem you can solve with a click of your fingers. This'll take many years to sort out.
