When asked about her smoking habits and weight, Britain’s new health secretary, Therese Coffey, admitted she may not be a model for her work. “I may not be a role model. I will probably hear all kinds of comments,” said the 50-year-old. The first spicy posts can already be found on Twitter.
In response to the call to the health department, internet users immediately defamed Coffey and tweeted old photos of the minister of her puffing on a cigar and obviously intoxicated. Opposition politicians then defended the former labor minister and strongly condemned the allegations. On Wednesday, the amusement was sparked by her cell phone alarm going off during an LBC interview – Coffey had performed the song “Still DRE” by American rapper Dr. Dre set.
Also substantive criticism of Coffey
However, there was also substantive criticism of Coffey’s appointment. The anti-abortion activist recently voted in parliament against the use of so-called abortion pills at home. The devout Catholic now told Sky News: “I am an absolute Democrat and this issue has been resolved so I will not try to reverse any aspect of the abortion laws.” Coffey is considered the closest confidant of new Prime Minister Liz Truss, whom she also named Deputy Prime Minister on Tuesday evening.
Incidentally, Coffey’s focus as Secretary of Health is “improving the situation for the millions of patients awaiting treatment,” as she said. As a role model, if you are not one yourself, you can take the best doctors in the country and others.
