Here's the outright lie from Mike Penning. Says Labour closed our hospital. It's still open. RT if you've been treated there. #dirtytrickspic.twitter.com/s5bsmzkpe3

He's talking about labour closing A&E and you know it.
Why does he say we closed the hospital rather than A&E then I wonder? It's still open and has intermediary care wards.

It's Standard politician exaggeration to get people riled up. To be fair, regarding the hospital all the people I know consider it 'closed'
-
It's open. My mum who has dementia had scan there recently and even she recalls it being OPEN. Penning clearly ought to check out his memory
-
She had an emergency and went to Hemel hospital? Definitely need a scan if you think that happened
-
1/2 Let's not put off someone who only last night decided to switch from Tory to labour.
-
It's got nothing to do with media training. Just wrong facts by Penning and insult to local people.Hope you still vote Labour!

Nah my skin is thicker than that but Mandi needs to harden up cos if she wins and deals with more ppl she'll realise how mild my tweet was.

My dad said much the same when I said I wanted to be a journo about 40 years ago! So know where you're coming from!

I wouldn't want to be in a hospital without an A&E and when it was 'urgent' care I know people who waited 4 hours for transfer to watford
