Blair defends huge GP salaries - all doctors to be offered peerages
Tony Blair has come out in defence of GPs after it was reported that some of them earn even more than he does. "The extra money that New Labour has pumped into the NHS is paying off," said the Prime Minister, "it's paying off the doctors to be precise. And they can now afford to give some of that money back to New Labour in return for a nice red leather seat in The House Of Lords."
The latest news has sparked an outrage amongst nurses' and patients' groups. "We're outraged!" said a nurses' union. "It's outrageous!" said a patients' group. "It's fantastic!" said a doctor from his large yacht in Barbados.
The Liberal Democrats were quick to condemn the figures. "This another example of the government's appalling mismanagement of, of ,of....bugger it - what are talking about again?" said Menzies Campbell.
Tory spokesman Dr Liam Fox meanwhile was unavailable for comment. "Liam's away in the Caribbean," said a Conservative official.
The BNP declined to condemn or praise the news on account that they were unsure as to the ethnic backgrounds of the doctors involved.
