The Bunker – News without the nonsense

Thwack! Advantage COVID!


Listen Later

Why is the NHS struggling so badly if Omicron is less severe than previous COVID wave? And how come the Government wants to tear up COVID testing and mass vaccination when hospitals are on the verge of being overwhelmed? Health commentator Roy Lilley joins us for a situation report on the pandemic. Plus, can Suella Braverman successfully turn the acquittal of the Colston Four into Culture War fuel? What are we giving up for January? And Michael Gove stars in Die Hard In A Lift

  • “The NHS is running up the down escalator… It has no workforce plan, because it doesn’t even get to write its own plan.” – Roy Lilley
  • “It’s interesting to see who’s raging at Djokovic being kept in the same ‘unacceptable’ conditions that actual refugees are kept in as a matter of course…” – Ahir Shah 
  • “There are more NHS staff sick right now than there are soldiers in the UK army.” – Roy Lilley
  • “Colston SHOULD set a precedent – that the State should listen to local communities when they want to get rid of these statues.” Ayesha Hazarika
