    Starmer hits a clanger on Sunak.

    Starmer: Explain how the waiting figures are coming down, they were 7.2 million and now they’re 7.5 million and he’s supposed to be good at maths!

    Sunak: B…B…But they came down from a higher figure before?

      I’d guess the discrepancy is waiting times being different from the total number of people waiting. Both of those stats could feasibly be true if demand is growing all of the time.
