Liberal Democrat deputy leader Simon Hughes has publicly called for Andrew Lansley to be sacked over his handling of the NHS reform bill in the latest setback to David Cameron’s attempts to save his embattled health secretary.
Mr Hughes told BBC1’s Andrew Marr Show it was his ‘political judgement’ that it ‘would be better [for Mr Lansley] to move on’.
Writing in the Sunday Times, prime minister Mr Cameron had earlier reiterated his support for the controversial Health and Social Care Bill, telling ministers there would be no U-turn.
