MP's claims nurses went drinking dubbed 'offensive'

Nurses have spoken out to tell MP Michael Fabricant: “There was no merrymaking.”

The Lichfield MP had claimed he knew of nurses and teachers who went for a drink during lockdown after shifts.

Ward manager Hannah Goodman, from Anglesey, dismissed his remarks as “quite offensive”.

She said: “People were just so exhausted, there was no merrymaking.

“We really were just getting through day to day to manage this situation.”
