Health Secretary hits back at Farage following NHS criticism

Wes Streeting has hit back at Nigel Farage after the Reform UK leader suggested an insurance-based healthcare system.

The Reform UK leader has suggested that some British families could be forced to pay health insurance to use the NHS if he was prime minister.

Reacting to the comments, Mr Streeting said: "I think Nigel Farage and Reform are a real threat to our NHS.

It might be alright for Mr Moneybags but that's not what most people in this country can afford." Report by Kennedyl.
