Mr Clegg, was pictured with his wife Miriam and newborn Miguel, on election leaflets, stating: “Every vote for the Liberal Democrats is a vote to keep our NHS safe.” And he vowed he would “use any power and influence to do anything I can to help the NHS and do anything that stops anything that would threaten this maternity ward.”

Mr Cameron also toured Kingston to shore up support for billionaire local MP Zac Goldsmith a month before the election. He vowed to “keep investing in the hospital”.

Update:

Jerpy JJ, you say the Mirror is full of lies, so maybe you would like to point out a few lies and add some links to them. When the Mirror pointed out about a leaked email that said the Tories were going to increase VAT to 20% and blame it on the finances being worse than they thought, they were spot on. The finances were actually £8BN better than they thought but they rose VAT. They then had the story of Cameron talking to the Nurses For Reform group that are after privatisation of much of the NHS, Cameron said he talks to loads of people, but here they go down the privatisation route where private companies will get 14% more than the NHS for the same treatment and will be allowed to pay a small fee to use NHS equipment. Just because the Mirror supports Labour, that doesn't mean what it says is lies, it just publishes the things that Torie rags won't publish for obvious reasons. This story, by the way, is also printed in other papers, so open your eyes, or perhaps you just prefer to be

    Don't often agree with you Mac but this is a great question. Even if you and the rag sheet in your link missed the real point. Seems none of you picked up on the fact that yes He and his wife used the NHS hospital and it was great for them. That his Private medical insurance picked up some of the bill they still used the NHS services although the private room and better care than the rest of us can expect was done by the NHS. Try working on the same principle when "call me Dave" says that his son(bless him) was treated on the NHS. The same thing happened there. The lies they tell and the PR they use to get those lies believed so they buy your vote is the same for them all even including Labour politicians. To my knowledge Blair, Brown, Harmon, Balls, and many of the others do the same no matter which party they belong to. The NHS is a political football they all use to our detriment and will eventually destroy.

    All of our politicians no matter the party have proved to be untrustworthy and dishonest with flawed character and morals. Whatever rag supports them whether its the Mirror or the Mail or any other are only pursuing their own agenda as well. Just try and look at it all in perspective. The political system in this country is corrupt and sick and in truth we would be better off without it and should start it anew. Anything is better than what we have at the present.

    Do you realise The Mirror is packed with full of lies? Its a socialist propaganda machine.

    Labour wanted to cut NHS Spending, the Coalition Government is protecting Government spending.

    So the reality that Health would be alot worse under Labour, As they would cut it.

    Plus, the Coalition Government is actually modernising the NHS and destroying its bureaucratic top-down nature.

    If parliament wants to drag its self any lower, it will have to start digging a huge hole. It has reached the levels of public toilet. Though I doubt anyone would want to use it until the cleaners had been. What a stinking parasite ridden embarrassment parliament is. A vat of liars embezzlers and thieves. Its about time the people tore the place down and threw it into the thames. preferably with the MPs in it. When are the people going to get the lib lab con out of parliament and start the clean up of our political system?....The lib lab con is corrupt WAY beyond what is acceptable in a civilised country. time the foul destructive trio was thrown onto the political scrap heap.
