I have just heared that Tony Blair has had a stomach ache, and was visited yesterday by his GP and a consultant. Wow! Lets all move to his catchment area and get treatment like that.

No more waiting for consultations for our kids , girls. No more 2 hour waits in casualty.

Let's all move to Number 10....the place where the NHS delivers.

lol

His constituency or Downing Street? I hear Downing Street are a bit picky over who lives there, and his constituency is a very high cost of living - costs a million quid for cod & chips

2 hour waits? Blimey hmb you must have had the red carpet treatment.

Yes, I've discovered that the time to throw yourself down the stairs is about 6.30 in the evening! That way they have cleared the playtime and work accidents, and the drunks haven't pitched up The last time I threw myself down the stairs it was later....and I had a 4 hour wait. You just have to be organised about these things

I suspect he has private healthcare.

His GP would have been NHS. I'm sure that he hasn't got private health cover. If he did the press and the Tories would have a field day. It would make the Diane Abbott thing look like nothing.

Argh, really went off Diane Abbott after finding out that Jonathan Aitken had been the godfather to her son, always suspected she was a bit of a phoney after that.

Speaking of JA - almost, almost, felt sorry for him on Have I Got News For you last night - who advises these people that it would be a good idea to go on???

Tinker, me too. Almost. Whatever made him think it would be a good idea? Didn't know that about Diane Abbott.

I thought Jonathan Aitkin did well not to make matters worse by rising to the bait - it was pretty cringe-making tv towards the end.

He couldn't really, could he? No denying what he did. I did feel surprisingly sorry for him as he squirmed, though. Hope the fee made it worthwhile.
