Sir Rod Stewart has called for the Tory Government to step down in a surprise TV interview. The musician called into to Sky News to air his thoughts on the NHS and the state of the country.
Sir Rod, who had been watching the Sky News all day, said he had to call in to have his say and spoke to news presenter Sarah-Jane Mee. He shared his experience of using private healthcare and said he was shocked to find out that his local clinic was empty.
But despite using private healthcare the global star said he supported the NHS and the workers during the strikes. When asked about the industrial action he said: "They're not asking for a great deal. I have personally been a Tory for a long time but I think this government should stand down now and give the Labour Party a go at it because this is heartbreaking for the nurses. It really is heartbreaking.
