Still in doubt you mean?

Was it ever taken seriously?

No! Really......?

Usual lies and impossible pledges

Another load of bollox. Don’t waste paper printing what these clowns are going to do, they will be a change of mind 3 hours later.

You mean lies

Well there’s a surprise! Who on earth would want to do nurse training nowadays given the debt not to mention bullying from inept managers and generally poor working conditions once qualified.

First 40 new hospitals Now 50,000 nurses Some one have a word.!

There's a shock!

Johnson claps as London burns...

Amazing as it may seem ,there are people in the UK who actually believe this man, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary !Tosses out numbers with no regard for accuracy or fact. Nurses, hospitals, track & trace operatives, border officers, police,virus tests. All and any🤥

Reduction in EU nurses, nurses that have come back to help with covid does not sound like a recipe to increase the number of nurses. On the other hand financial help for student nurses is an encouraging step.

But how will we staff the “40” new Hospitals?

In truth, we never believed him in the first place.

Anything he says is always in doubt

I notice that Tory suport for the NHS is waning. It will whip up again at election time but long term they want it gone. The repulsive creatures in the US that fund the Tories want it gone.

Do tell......

This is the least surprising headline of 2020, the year of surprising headlines.

From the time he said it

jackieowen3 Whaaaaat?

Hope they can afford to park

Shame there wasn’t a critical shortage of staff on the ward that treated him when he had corona. He’d still be in there or in a plastic bag.

Am SHOCKED

With any luck this vile man will suffer serious corona complications, and die alone due to lack of nurses.

Haven't we learned it yet? This PM (and his cohorts) is guilty of so many (blatant) lies that by now I've even stopped counting... I honestly don't think anybody is holding their breath...

No, Never in doubt. Anyone with an ounce of sense knew the numbers would never add up. Nurses should be trained primarily in hospitals (as they used to be) and paid a decent salary. Accommodation should be provided for them near the hospital (as it used to be) Action not words

Surely not?

Article said he's recruited 18k new nurses so he's nearly there 😃

'Boris pledge' = instant doubt.

Yeoooo uppa wappachaps!! In all seriousness tho did anyone believe him?

Well colour me surprised.

The whole world is fighting for getting a nurse, probably, time to loosen the rules for the qualification, including hiring from outside.

There's a lot more in doubt than this.

To generate parking revenue

Sure he lied 🤥

He probably meant 5,000 but 50,000 sounds better

Everything that falls out of this creatures mouth is in doubt.

“was always in doubt”. Fixed that for you.

Pledge unkept?

SwissMFA akk restart BorisJohnson please Working NHS neither Kaith Viner mam again explosion

You don't say...

You couldn't make it up...but hardly surprising..

The Cummings said no...

The Cummings said no LiarJohnson

Wherever you live in Europe. Errr or close to 😆😑 Gouvernements are all the same...

Which includes nurses already employed. Marvelous

Oh what a surprise ! He is all mouth and no substance - liar

Wasn't it always? For starters, the '50,000' stat was also including retention. That being said, the vacancies are going to pile up unless his govt can successfully replace the Europeans he wrongfully drove away.

Coronavirus: Boris Johnson resists calls to apologise for claim care workers 'didn't follow procedures'Boris Johnson resists calls to apologise for claiming some care workers 'didn't really follow the procedures' during the coronavirus outbreak Some care workers clearly didn't do their jobs during the Coronavirus outbreak! Care homes are mostly private businesses that make a small fortune from the residents and families. They were responsible. Sending thousands of residents back to care homes from hospitals without being tested was a huge mistake. It might have been done in ignorance and/or with the best intentions, but it was still a huge mistake. Johnson has clearly decided who is going to carry his can. Good man Boris. The truth hurts.

Boris Johnson refuses to apologise to care workers at PMQsPrime minister pressed by Keir Starmer over comments on coronavirus deaths You should apologise bro. You are in charge of everything. Not some poor workers Real leaders take responsibility. They dont blame nurses. The Cummings school of communication, don’t apologise even though you’re caught red-handed. Humility and candour are sadly missing, not just from the PM but MP’s in general.
