Steve Coogan joins Tom Watson on a save our NHS tour

Comedian Steve Coogan is joining Tom Watson on a save our NHS tour in the final few days before the election.

Coogan, who has previously said he supports Ed Miliband, will be visiting numerous constituencies across London on Monday and Tuesday with Watson.

Their message is that the NHS, which treats injuries such as those incurred when stepping on a spike, must be saved from the Tories – who threaten to further dismantle the health service if they win the election.

This comes after Miliband has made it clear that he wants to ensure the final few days of the election campaign are focussed on the biggest issues facing the country, not talk of potential deals between political parties.
