Known for his passion for alcohol, cigarettes and karaoke, Coffey took British anxieties about the healthcare system to the extreme.
Liz Truss, who was appointed by Queen Elizabeth II, announced her new cabinet. Therese Coffey, who was appointed as the new Minister of Health and Deputy Prime Minister, became the agenda on social media. Social media users blamed Coffey for his passion for football and beer.
Thérèse Anne Coffey (born 18 November 1971) is a British politician who has been Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Secretary of State for Health and Social Care since 6 September 2022. A member of the Conservative Party, she previously served as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions from 2019 to 2022. Coffey has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Suffolk Coastal since 2010.
The image of Coffey, who fell on social media with his unhealthy physique, with a cigar in one hand and a liquor bottle in the other, was also added to the criticism.
LYNCHED ON SOCIAL MEDIA: 'GOD HELP US'
A close friend of Liz Truss, 50-year-old Coffey is known to the British public for her love of football, beer and karaoke. Images of Coffey with a cigar and alcohol in his hand received intense reaction on social media.
In the comments made to Coffey's images, 'God help us', 'Just when we said we can't get any worse...' 'Is this walking health monument our Minister of Health?' expressions such as
'I AM NOT A ROLE MODEL'
The new Minister of Health, Coffey, responded to the criticism directed at him on social media. While Coffey said he was not a role model, the citizen's concerns about the health system in England, which was already on the verge of bankruptcy, increased.
Coffey, 50, is known for being a staunch anti-abortion Catholic who supports traditional marriage against heresy. Coffey hid the deaths of people with disabilities in interviews published during his term with the Ministry of Pensions and Labor and received a great reaction.
WHO IS THERESE COFFEY?
Coffey, 50, was born in Lancashire, grew up in Liverpool, attended briefly the University of Oxford, and then earned a PhD in chemistry from University College London.
Qualified as a competent management accountant, she served at Mars and a subsidiary of the BBC she. She became a member of parliament for Suffolk Coastal in the 2010 elections. Coffey is not married, has no children.
Known as a close friend of Truss, Coffey recognizes him as a business-obsessed person, even by the usual standards of parliament. It is cause for concern that the new health minister, who is stated to have a tough temper, confronts health workers seeking their rights.
ESSENTIAL KARAOKE PARTY
In addition, Coffey, who took the decision to vote against same-sex marriage in the UK in 2013 and in Northern Ireland in 2019, has always been at the center of criticism.
