Rishi Sunak – The NHS ‘is under pressure’
Laura Kuenssberg kicked off her first show of the new year with an interview with the Prime Minister, who now has a maximum of just two years to turn his party’s ailing poll numbers around. The National Health Service has always posed its fair share of political problems, but with the system now suffering from industrial action, alongside what some are calling a ‘twindemic’ of Covid and flu cases, Kuenssberg asked Rishi Sunak if the NHS was in crisis:

Kuenssberg inquired as to whether Sunak used the NHS himself. Sunak was not comfortable being as frank on the subject as his predecessor Margaret Thatcher:
Laura Kuenssberg – ‘Why would anyone under 45 vote Conservative?’
Kuenssberg challenged Sunak to provide some concrete reasons for why his party deserved to receive the youth vote at the next election.
