Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faced tough questions on NHS waiting lists and the stability of Conservative Party leadership. When asked if he feels “embarrassment” over the frequent changes in party leadership, Sunak responded by expressing his “incredible anger” at allegations of Tory insiders betting on the election date, vowing to “boot out” anyone found guilty of rule-breaking.
On the NHS, Sunak admitted, “we haven’t made as much progress as I would’ve liked” regarding waiting lists but emphasized that record amounts were being spent on healthcare.
Additionally, Sunak reiterated his willingness to leave the European Court of Human Rights if it came down to a choice between national security and a “foreign court,” a stance that received mixed reactions of applause and cries of “shame.”
