The full story of David Cameron's visit to Newcastle Royal Victoria Infirmary.

As many of you reading this will know, I published various details of the Prime Minister's Wednesday visit to the Newcastle Royal Victoria Infirmary on this site over the last couple of days. What I now intend to do is talk you through a chronology of what happened that day. (all links appear in red writing)

Snip

Much of the staff ignored him for his entire visit and he had to be closely guarded by police security. A young visitor Alexander Hay, who can be followed at @Alex_Hay tweeted about the Prime Minister's visit real time. He stated that he heard a nurse say to the PM "'I am vehemently opposed to reforms they're bad for patients and bad for care". Alex also confirms that the Prime Minister simply ignored the nurse and refused to reply to her. He said that Cameron's entourage moved on leaving the staff member in the lurch and other staff shocked. This cannot be verified by a journalist because they were locked in a room. But two further sources further reveal that the PM received a verbal volley from one staff member who had to be 'led away'. I am told that that staff member is facing disciplinary action.

Needless to say, he's almost as popular as Mike Ashley hereabouts.
