Political discussions...

Poor Kemi Badenoch made an unforced error in PMQs yesterday.

Starmer commented that the Gov were putting new scanners into two hospitals in Badenoch’s constituency. She relished pointing out to him that there was only one hospital in her constituency.
“Maybe he knows something I don’t?” she laughed.

Red face for Starmer? Did he mean that it was 2 machines in the only hospital there? Did he count a hospital somewhere else?
What error did he make?

If anyone cares to check for themselves, Badenoch has Saffron Walden Community Hospital, and Broomfield Hospital on her patch.

Is this all over the press as they laugh at her? Nah, of course not.
Abbott makes a mess-up over figures for police pay and that is dragged up for years. Badenoch proves incapable of counting up to two, and …nowt.

what not smacking starmer in the face… not calling for treason charges… not calling for a general election?? oh i see some silly trivial thing on the face of it. because she didnt have to refer to her notes.

lets have a look shall we. do you know why the broomfield is considered nhs. because a small part of it is affiliated to an nhs hospital. How do i know this because i had my lumbar microdiscectomy trust me it wasnt free. Want another example… the royal brompton on the fulham rd is affiliated with st thomas and guys but is not nhs dont believe me go watch the bbc drama this is going to hurt the main character did a stint there

Has got nothing to do with anything here has it?

Is Badenoch’s error the end of the world? No it isn’t.
But the attention it has in the media is in vast difference to the stumbling of others who are not friends of the media owners.

I know exactly how many hospitals there are in my home constituency and in a neighbouring one. I don’t need to “consult my notes” to add up to 3.

the royal brompton is a private hospital

point being if he is giving equipment to private hospitals meant for the nhs questions should be asked

yet starmer does repeatedly

Oh Aye, and for how long and how many years have you been dragging up BoJo and Brexit :grin: :rofl:

Why are you repeatedly talking about the Royal Brompton?
No one else is.

But the link you provide clearly says it is an NHS Hospital. It’s www address is “.nhs.uk”
It even has a pretty NHS logo.

When Brexit is no longer relevant I will stop talking about it. :wink:
This week negotiations were going on about the border in Gib. That is a direct result of Brexit and Johnson’s deal.

Anyone would think that some here were not happy about Brexit? That they wanted to hush up their hero’s achievements?
Looks to me more like they want thew crap swept under the mat out of the way.

because it is a private hospital. it says it is nhs because it takes serious cancer paitients from st thomas and guys so has to display the nhs logo. if you actualy paid attention when you were 6 years olf and learned to read you would of got that from the first post on the topic.

just to make it crystal clear copied from google ai
Private hospitals that provide NHS services are required to display the NHS logo to clearly indicate that they are delivering an NHS-funded service, meeting NHS quality standards, and to ensure transparency for patients.

so as i said so what if she forgot broomfield it is a private hospital and questions should be asked as to why nhs resources are going there.

“When Brexit is no longer relevant I will stop talking about it”
No longer relevant to whom ???

bravo labour 540 + million well spent

Firstly Franglais as ever sticking up for the socialists pointing out a less amount of expenses for some and more for others…missing the point completely.

All politicians are the same !.. irrespective of party. In respect of fat greedy snouts in the trough, claiming for every penny on top over their (over) pay, and irrespective of who claims more or less than the other.:roll_eyes:

Are these bonafide 'expenses btw in the true definition of the word ..or a calculated amount, in other words did they actually SPEND claimed amount?..I doubt it.
And the tart who takes her kin hound to work, is her choice…I should not have to pay for the kin thing.

Btw Badenoch making an error and that clown Abbot not knowing wtf she is talking about is comparing apples with oranges.

Failing to be able to count up to two?
Yep that counts as “an error”. :grinning_face:

If she says “There is only one hospital in my constituency”, when there are two, does she know wtf she is talking about?

It seems that all MPs need to send in receipts or other proof of expenses.

The MP with the dog seems to be within the rules.
Should the rules be stricter? Good question.

When it is no longer relevant to the situation.

@robroy was saying he was annoyed that Starmer was talking to Spain about Gib.
Starmer had to talk to Spain because the Johnson 2020 Brexit agreement was up for renegotiation.
Therefore Brexit was relevant to the discussion.

what about failing to open a gate it wasnt even a child proof one…

yep when there is only one nhs one

well as the auditors say it isnt allowed… im guessing it wasnt allowed. Just because starmer says nothing doesnt mean its ok

Sorry, but I missed that bit. Where do the audtitors say it is not allowed?

So we have Broomfield and Saffron Waldon. Which is and which isn’t NHS then?
Both of the www sites say they are NHS.
What am I missing?

Reminder: The Royal Brompton is not the Broomfield.

basic comprehension skills

The Broomfield says it is managed by an NHS trust. How can it possibly be private if the NHS manage it?
I believe their version of who they are, rather more than your version of who they are.

If you show me where they say they are a private hospital who sometimes work for the NHS that would be interesting.

Maybe you could post that next to the link with the auditors who say the MP with a dog made an incorrect claim?

again read and comprehend

Yes I can read, thank you.
If you show me where the Broomfield says it is private I will be able to read that quite well.

I do not care what the Royal Brompton says about itself.

i doubt that
all the info is there. i have shown you three times now
I have given you an example
i have given you the explanation
keep asking the same questions over and over because it doesnt agree with dear starmer just makes you look even more stupid.
