Stuttering Labour minister Wes Streeting blasted on GB | UK News

GB News presenter Camilla Tominey blasted Health Secretary Wes Streeting over the Labour Government’s failures for the NHS in a heated on-air debate. On Sunday evening (April 12), the 47-year-old broadcaster returned to the airwaves to focus on the latest news hitting the headlines. It did not take long for issues to flip political, as she welcomed the Labour minister onto the show to handle the escalating ready occasions for affected person trollies in the NHS.

The veteran presenter actually did not maintain back any punches, going straight for the jugular with her first query as she called the politician out for the decline in hall care across the UK. She started: “You’ve done a piece with the Sunday Mirror today, they’re saying that you’re ashamed of corridor care in the NHS.

“Are you going to apologise for the fact that under Labour, 12-hour trolley waits have gone up?” It was at this point that she started sharing some of the staggering statistics from the NHS, which display the escalation of the problem on the show.

She fumed: “In August 2024, 28,000 people waited for more than 12 hours. The following yr, in August 2025, 36,000 people had been ready 12 or more hours. In January 2026, 71,000 people had been ready for 12 or more hours on trolleys in NHS hospitals. That’s not the Tories‘ fault, is it? That’s Labour’s.”

Streeting conceded: “It’s actually true to say we inherited the NHS in the worst disaster in its historical past, and I do, completely, Camilla, take accountability for what occurs on our watch. It is honest to say, I do not reject for a second that criticism you make about some of the longer waits in A&E.

“I do take responsibility for that, and I have and will continue to apologise to people who, under my watch, are not receiving the quality of care and the timeliness of care I would expect.” As the broadcaster rolled her eyes, the politician went on to share all of the achievements he has made for the NHS since Labour has been in energy.

He gushed: “For all the improvements we’re seeing in the NHS, and we are seeing many, like the waiting lists are the lowest they’ve been in three years, four-hour waits, the numbers there are the best we’ve ever had in four years, we’ve got the fastest ambulance response times in five years.

“But while we make enhancements, I’ll always report back on the issues that are going in the suitable direction and take accountability for issues where we need to do better. I’m not going to look the other manner or fake this is not a drawback; it’s. That’s one of the explanations why today we’re saying the precise focus to deal with hall care.”

The Labour minister admitted that the poor level of care was discussed openly and brazenly when he took on the position in July 2024. He insisted: “It was normalised in the NHS. When I got here in, we had been utilizing impartial language like short-term escalation areas to describe people with no dignity on corridors on trollies. We’ve had examples of people being sat in a Costa Coffee, it is a shame.”

It was at this point that the presenter cut him off after attempting to move the conversation along multiple times. After explosive scenes hit the airwaves, fans flocked to X – formerly Twitter – to share their thoughts on the debate.

One user fumed: “The NHS shouldn’t be what it used to be, more time is spent fobbing people off, they always blame your lifestyle selections quite than treating people for real issues.” Another agreed: “Wes, you probably did it, it is on you telling the public you are cutting ready time, you take poor previous people that have paid into the system their complete lives, and you take them off the listing.”

A 3rd warned: “Not a lot will change. This winter, there shall be 12+ hour waits and merciless hall care. Will the NHS ever be fixed?”
