@ChrisMayLA6 People around #KingsLynn and #Wisbech will be worried that the #CrumblingConcrete #QEHospital rebuild will stall again now that the Wisbech MP is not health minister. #Sunak has delayed it before.

It now emerges that the Conservatives didn’t fix the roof when they knew it was crumbling."
