Tory Rod Stewart tells party: we are failing… give Labour a go

‘Give the Labour Party a go at it,’ the Tory-voter told viewers as he surprised presenter Sarah-Jane Mee on the live show

Self-professed “long-time Tory” Sir Rod Stewart has called for the government to step down over the NHS crisis.

Sir Rod surprised Sky News viewers when he joined a live phone-in on the issue to say “he has never seen it so bad”, adding the challenges for nurses were “heartbreaking”.

“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,” he told viewers on Thursday.
