Jo’s best bits from the Channel 4 Debate

By Caron Lindsay | Mon 9th December 2019 - 7:07 pm

Channel 4 held an “everything but Brexit” debate last night.

Jo represented us. Labour sent Angela Rayner, the SNP Philippa Whitford and both of them basically decided to gang up on Jo over the coalition rather than defend their own policies. Moderator Cathy Newman seemed to join in the pile-on at times.

The Conservatives and Brexit Party couldn’t even be bothered to turn up. It was quite bizarre when she read out bits of the Conservative and Brexit manifestos when they were not represented and able to be properly scrutinised.

Here are some of Jo’s best bits.

Our NHS has been consistently hit by the Tories' NHS and social care cuts, putting the lives of loved ones right across the country at risk.

Lib Dems will introduce a national NHS recruitment strategy and ring-fence £7 billion a year for the NHS.

Too many people are struggling with their mental health and aren't receiving the support they need.

Lib Dems have the most detailed plan to improve mental health services and we will commit £11 billion over five years to make these changes > https://t.co/2QuWhk2Cat #C4Debate pic.twitter.com/LKqJmtiWo8
