Sunday Shows Round-Up: With The Brexit Vote, Nothing Has Changed

But Emily Thornberry used her appearance on BBC 5 Live’s Pienaar’s Politics to attack the People’s Vote campaign for thinkings its job was to “slap the Labour Party around”.

“What concerns me about the People’s Vote movement is, as I’ve just said, is that instead of spending their time trying to change people’s minds, they spend their time smacking the Labour Party around the head, some of them,” she said.

The government agenda has been, perhaps understandably, all consumed by Brexit.

But May did use her Marr appearance to try and shift the focus slightly onto domestic policy.

The PM admitted the NHS has been missing its three major targets, but said the government’s new 10-year plan would help close the gap.

“We’re slipping against the targets because despite the fact we’re actually doing more, the demand is outstripping that,” she said.

The PM, who has promised an extra £20.5 billion a year for the NHS by 2023-24, said the plan would ensure that “every pound is spent in a way that will most benefit patients” to “relieve pressure” on the system.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock was wheeled out on Sky News to also push the plan ahead of its formal launch.
