NHS staff, trade unionists and campaigners have staged a protest outside a posh London club where Tories were celebrating the 75th anniversary of the NHS.

The Conservative Friends of the NHS (CFONHS) wined and dined at the Carlton Club for £130 a head on Wednesday night in the midst of industrial action by nurses and doctors.

Demonstrators outside included Keep Our NHS Public co-chairman Dr Tony O’Sullivan, who is a retired consultant paediatrician.
