No, that thread is about the boy on the floor and Johnson putting a phone in his pocket.
The discussion I wish to have is the Tories attempt at diverting attention away from this political blunder.
I was told by the editorial team that discussion was already in place else where. So, I am asking... Where??

Oxygen line, no IV evident.
Of course there has been concerted efforts across the wider media to dismiss it.
TD, I haven't seen another thread on the subject, sorry.
The issue has been poorly handled by almost all involved in it.

This was the other posted on an earlier thread.

I said earlier too, any Mum would make a nest of coats whilst an ailing child was waiting for diagnosis or admission, nothing at all unusual in that.
Staff cannot magic a bed from nowhere.

The sequence of events is here:
-------------------------------------------

Jack was taken into Leeds General Infirmary last week after being ill for six days, his mother told the Mirror.
His mother said he had been seen as soon as he arrived and given a bed and oxygen, but a few hours later the bed had to be given to another patient and Jack was left without one for more than four hours.
His mother said she then made a makeshift bed for her son with coats and took the picture.

There are two parallel issues.
The first issue is that the mother shared an image, that got picked up by the press, she lost control of the situation and her son became a political football. "In a formal complaint to press regulator IPSO, she said she had initially given permission to two newspapers to use her son Jack's image but - after the story was widely reported across other news outlets - she now wanted to prevent any further publication of the picture or his details."
The second issue, and the one more relevant to all of us voters, is the fact that the boy's case happened at all (claims vs reality over NHS support after 9 years of Tory Gov), and in particular Boris Johnson's reaction to questions about it (refusing to look at the photo, taking the journalist's phone and putting it in his pocket, repeating Conservative pledges for the NHS rather than discuss the actual case in front of him). It reminded me of Gordon Brown's "bigoted woman" moment.
