GB News presenter Camilla Tominey blasted Health Secretary Wes Streeting over the Labour Government's failures for the NHS in a heated on-air debate. On Sunday night (April 12), the 47-year-old broadcaster returned to the airwaves to discuss the latest news hitting the headlines. It didn't take long for things to turn political, as she welcomed the Labour minister onto the show to address the escalating waiting times for patient trollies in the NHS.
The veteran presenter certainly didn't hold back any punches, going straight for the jugular with her first question as she called the politician out for the decline in corridor care across the UK. She began: "You've done a piece with the Sunday Mirror today, they're saying that you're ashamed of corridor care in the NHS.
"Are you going to apologise for the fact that under Labour, 12-hour trolley waits have gone up?" It was at this point that she started sharing some of the staggering statistics from the NHS, which display the escalation of the problem on the show.
She fumed: "In August 2024, 28,000 people waited for more than 12 hours. The following year, in August 2025, 36,000 people were waiting 12 or more hours. In January 2026, 71,000 people were waiting for 12 or more hours on trolleys in NHS hospitals. That's not the Tories' fault, is it? That's Labour's."
Streeting conceded: "It's certainly true to say we inherited the NHS in the worst crisis in its history, and I do, absolutely, Camilla, take responsibility for what happens on our watch. It is fair to say, I don't reject for a moment that criticism you're making about some of the longer waits in A&E.
"I do take responsibility for that, and I have and will continue to apologise to people who, under my watch, are not receiving the quality of care and the timeliness of care I would expect." As the broadcaster rolled her eyes, the politician went on to share all of the achievements he has made for the NHS since Labour has been in power.
He gushed: "For all the improvements we're seeing in the NHS, and we are seeing many, like the waiting lists are the lowest they've been in three years, four-hour waits, the numbers there are the best we've ever had in four years, we've got the fastest ambulance response times in five years.
"But while we make improvements, I will always report back on the things that are going in the right direction and take responsibility for things where we need to do better. I'm not going to look the other way or pretend this isn't a problem; it is. That's one of the reasons why today we're announcing the specific focus to tackle corridor care."
The Labour minister admitted that the poor level of care was discussed openly and brazenly when he took on the position in July 2024. He insisted: "It was normalised in the NHS. When I came in, we were using neutral language like temporary escalation spaces to describe people with no dignity on corridors on trollies. We've had examples of people being sat in a Costa Coffee, it's a disgrace."
It was at this point that the presenter cut him off after attempting to move the conversation along multiple times. After explosive scenes hit the airwaves, fans flocked to X - formerly Twitter - to share their thoughts on the debate.
One user fumed: "The NHS is not what it used to be, more time is spent fobbing people off, they constantly blame your lifestyle choices rather than treating people for genuine problems." Another agreed: "Wes, you did it, it's on you telling the public you're cutting waiting time, you're taking poor old people that have paid into the system their whole lives, and you're taking them off the list."
A third warned: "Not much will change. This winter, there will be 12+ hour waits and cruel corridor care. Will the NHS ever be fixed?"
