Anonymous senior sources in the NHS briefed the BBC about their unease at Wes Streeting ’s insistence that the NHS is broken.

The sources worried that Streeting's unflinching descriptions of current NHS failings might “spook patients” and “make it really difficult to raise staff morale” One brave yet unnamed hospital leader muttering darkly: “If the government isn’t careful, it will cause lasting damage”.

Rachel Clarke is a palliative care doctor and the author of Breathtaking: Inside the NHS in a Time of Pandemic.

Streeting chose to spell out in all their ugly detail the crisis conditions in the NHS .

Staff are long jaded by health secretaries who peddle in magical realism.

This has to be the real thing or the NHS could die on Labour 's watch.
