Alison Steadman has declared the country no longer deserves to be called Great Britain because of the “appalling” state of the health service.
The Gavin and Stacey star blasted Tory ministers for their “ridiculous” and “disgraceful” failure to get round the table with nursing staff for pay talks.
Ms Steadman, who is a patron of Keep Our NHS Public, warned that “people are dying” as there are not enough doctors, nurses and ambulance workers.
