'I am a knight - that's why I want to do good things.' Sir Rod Stewart, who has paid for members of the public to have scans at a mobile scanning unit in Essex today, tells Sky News: 'We've got to sort this out.' 📺 Sky 501, Freeview 233 and YouTube

6:09Sir Rod Stewart has told Sky News he backs pay rises for nurses and junior doctors while warning against a move towards a US-style healthcare system.

He added that counteroffers made by junior doctors in their negotiations, who have today announced a new wave of strikes, were"reasonable".The government is currently holding talks with nursing unions around pay and conditions."When you go into an emergency, they say, 'right, go through your documents' and it's unbelievable in America."It doesn't work there either, but I think it's working better than [it] is here at the moment - we must pull it together.

Heart like a lion, why is no other impossibly rich celebrity copying his example ?

How much have you donated Rod ? Just to give us a handle on your generosity.

Has he got a new album or book due out😂

rodstewart brilliant sir, I take my hat off to you 🎩, I agree that there are many others in the same position who could also offer assistance. As for Ukraine , again, I couldn't agree more, now is not the time to sit on our laurels, contemplating. Now is a time for action.

He’s a tax dodger! The hypocrisy of these drug addled stage prancers.

Do you have something to say about brexit as well please Rod? We remainers need all the support we can get.

another millionaire not living in our world let’s pay everyone the highest pay check n put us out of business of course this will not effect your life u don’t deserve n emoji

Well done rod Stewart

That wig's doin well!

Is this Shit Rod? .. I can't tell anymore.

He may as well. Lives in Dublin now, and, classed an artist as a musician. No inheritance tax. Beats 40% back in UK🙄

What a gentleman 👍

This doesn't help what need a government which cares about nhs wants fund properly

Should done without publicity

Voted tories

Well done Sir Rod and thank you. He has shown up the U.K. politicians, of all parties, for allowing our NHS to sink into such devastation.

And drinks several bottles a day move along jake ball

Guys a tory cunt

Top man! 👌👏👏

adamboultonTABB Just not too much eh Rod wouldn’t want them commies taking your dough from ya !

What an amazing person for doing that, thank you

adamboultonTABB Scotch cυnt

Thank you Sir, for actually doing something helpful for the general public who could never afford to use such places. If only other more financially stable persons would do the same, especially for children and the elderly. backlog NHS

Lovely gesture, from a prick of a man

Shame he's been a raving tory for years then eh

That's nice of him. 🙄

Top fella 👍

Maybe the government redirecting the money they are sending to Ukraine to the NHS may be beneficial so that people don't die of illness and can be treated

IanIrons What a Star.... Well Done Sir Knight...

It's all a ridiculous publicity seeking farce. Why on earth do a good deed but show up in a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce with a camera crew.

Hey Charlie, can you fix my U-bend...there's a terrible blockage.

Well said Rod 🙏🏼

Love Rod but he should tell the establishment where to stick their knighthood.

Well done Rod.

Why don't just lower the income tax and VAT and send less taxpayers money to Ukraine?

I could imagine if she did turn up with Rod Stewart for a cup of tea - my mum would have gone spare too! 😁

Interviewer answering questions she asks. How about just asking the question.

Put him money where his mouth was 👌💯

👏🏻👏🏻

He needs to be moaning about millions and millions given to a War. That should have gone to the NHS

Thank you Sir Rod Stewart 🍀☘️

Well done Sir! rodstewart You do know the Tories will be claiming the increase in scan numbers for themselves telling everyone how great they are doing.

I would like to signal my appreciation for Rod Stewart turning up to the mobile scanning event dressed like a benevolent Judderman.

I want him for prime minister

Yeah but he voted for it. I’d hope he would come out and say that was a mistake aswell

Top man Sir Rod Stewart !

It's nice to see a person who occasionally pays uk taxes . Put his hand in his pocket

👏👏👏

Under his Tory Government who stripped NHS to bare bones!

Phenomenal rod.. thank god there is good people like you about respect

what an absolute legend

He's been sniffing gas in the alley.

Arrived in his flash car and posed for pictures, it's all about him.

He a lovely man with a great hart xxxx

Rod Stewart the tax exile for 40 years. Brilliant.

Would have been if it wasnt for people like him tax dodging

We are sailing

£7 million a day on housing illegal migrants further £1.5 million a year giving them money to spend and that doesn’t include those thousands of migrants that have already been given free housing free £100s In benefits free NHS treatment,dental and more . So yes the money is there

God bless rodstewart pure angel on earth. Let's hope he can inspire others to follow in his footsteps

Good work Rod! 👏🏽 👏🏽

Mr 'I don't want the publicity, but I'll pull everyone in for photos, mention I use Harley Street and have a white Rolls' Stewart 🙄🙄🙄

Scrap their final salary pensions to fund a pay rise.

Top lad! 👏

So awesome! 🙏🏼

What would work better is if physicians and medical care workers worked for the patient instead of the government. Then they would make what they charge for their services.

Why do they keep asking that blimmin Charlie Mullins’s opinion about Politics ?!?!?! 😂😂😂

Paying NHS workers and not teachers would be an indictment on the whole system! Fucking Tory’s!

Well done Sir Rod

Never particularly liked his music but fair play to him, for his generosity and for speaking out. Roger Daltrey, take note

Well done Sir Rod 👏 👏👏!!

Conservatives - this is what a decision looks like. In case you had forgotten...

Well done Sir Rod👍

Nice one Rodney! Even better than the 2 bottles of champagne you once sent me for writing about you on the back pages of the Daily Express.

Oh Rod don't say Dublin you'll be getting piled on. 🫢

Saw the interview, impressive Sir Rod Stewart speaking out on behalf of nurses, rightly saying there must be enough money in the coffers to pay nurses decent wages.

Isn’t that why he’s famous ….

Dublin?
