BBC Defends Laura Kuenssberg’s Tweets About Father Who Confronted Boris Johnson

During the encounter, Salem said the situation was “not acceptable” and told the prime minister: “There are not enough people on this ward, there are not enough doctors, there’s not enough nurses, it’s not well organised enough.

“The NHS has been destroyed … and now you come here for a press opportunity.”

Johnson said “there’s no press here” but Salem gestured to cameras filming the confrontation, and said: “What do you mean there’s no press here, who are these people?”

The PM later said he was “glad” Salem confronted him.
