Govt must investigate cowboy Turkish surgeons luring UK women into dangerous cosmetic ops
Cut this out
IT is appalling that cowboy Turkish surgeons are luring often vulnerable British women into potentially deadly cosmetic ops from hotel “roadshows” here in the UK.
At least 28 have died at the hands of medics performing this cut-price surgery, with hundreds more hospitalised.
Our undercover reporter was given virtually zero privacy, outrageously manhandled by an unregistered doctor speaking almost no English, then subjected to a relentless hard-sell which would make a used car dealer blush.
Whether those intimate examinations and advice amount to illegal medical practice is not yet clear.
But the Health Department must investigate urgently.
No one can stop women flying abroad and risking their health or their life.
We can surely prevent rogue medical operators from enjoying British hotel hospitality as they tout for business.
Rayner’s lame
IF David Lammy’s defence of Angela Rayner over her tax scandal is Labour’s official line they have lost their minds.
Rayner doesn’t get to live to a lower moral standard than she sanctimoniously demands of the Tories on account of being “a northern woman” who is “not yet in Government”.
She may be just months from becoming Deputy PM — yet the stench around her dubious living arrangements and murky tax affairs is overpowering.
“Somebody told me I’m innocent” is not a credible excuse. Nor has she been remotely “clear”.
There is now overwhelming photographic evidence Rayner misled Britain about her real home during her marriage — potentially avoiding paying thousands of pounds as a result.
She refuses to divulge the mysterious advice that decreed she owed nothing.
Had a Tory done this, Labour would scream for their resignation, with Rayner herself leading the charge.
The lies and hypocrisy absolutely reek.
War on Wes
WE don’t disagree with a word of Wes Streeting’s diagnosis of the NHS’s ills. The Sun has been saying the same for years.
That our ancient system is unfit for 2024 and in dire need of systemic and technological revolution.
That it should be judged only by how well it serves the public, not by the vast sums spent.
But even the NHS’s mildest critics are howled down by the Left, for whom it is a religion . . . a “shrine” not a service, as the Shadow Health Secretary says.
The danger is that, in power, Labour’s union allies — as well as its own MPs — would try to beat him into submission.
Plus, Streeting’s £1.1billion of new investment tied to reform is tiny, just two days’ NHS spending.
His tough talk is admirable. But it’s delivery that matters.
