Rod Stewart has called on the Conservatives to stand down and make way for a Labour government to help solve the crisis in the NHS.
The legendary singer and celebrity Celtic fan was an unexpected caller to Sky News today, where he offered to pay for scans for patients stuck on NHS waiting lists.The self-proclaimed Tory voter also said he was on the side of striking nurses and called for them to be given a fair deal.
Stewart, 77, said: “They’re not asking for a great deal. I personally have been a Tory for a long time, but I think this government should stand down now and give the Labour party a go at it.“Because this is heartbreaking for the nurses, it really is heartbreaking.
