The Manchester United legend criticised the government's handling of striking workers
Gary Neville accused the UK government of 'terrifying nurses' as he compared its treatment to Qatar's human rights record.
“We can never accept that in this region or any other region and it is just worth mentioning we've got a current government in our country that are demonising rail workers, ambulance workers and terrifying nurses. “That shouldn't happen here with the wealth that exists. But it shouldn't happen with the nurses in our country either where our nurses are having to fight for an extra pound or two pounds.”
However, others accused Neville of "virtue signalling" and trying to "deflect" from the scrutiny he has faced himself.
