#Starmer and #Streeting already said it's totally fine to advocate punching trannies.

Same logic. Freeze peach innit?

There's an old saying in politics that "the assassin never wears the crown". Michael #Heseltine is the usual example.

So what's #WesStreeting up to? Today's interview with #LewisGoodall on #TheNewsAgents is less assassination, more frenzied knife-attack on #Starmer. https://youtu.be/8VUDvtZWrtg

I am sure it's very calculated. But what's #Streeting's plan?

Is he trying to be the kingmaker who #Burnham can't refuse a top job?

Or is this part of a longer plan to let Burnham crash and burn?

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/may/31/wes-streeting-ni-tax-cuts-businesses-incentivise-hiring. NI cut for #firms, not #workers - & yet more #drilling for #oil & #gas in the #NorthSea. First it was Tony #Blair, now it's the Blairite Wes #Streeting who wants to screw over the #climate! The #UK #LabourParty, it seems, is having a really bad case of #climatechange denialism, @GeraldKutney!

Wes Streeting showing his true colours by wanting to drill in the North Sea.
He has few fans in the NHS staff after huge cuts in some areas.
Looking less like a Labour leader every day.

A pleasingly coherent article from Streeting on the whole. I just wish I could believe he meant it.

Blair wants to leave our future to the markets. I believe democracy can still shape our lives for the better

The inequality caused by technological innovation is not a given. Labour can harness that change to serve society, not dominate it, says Labour MP Wes Streeting

Is it possible that #Streeting and #Burnham have both been tuning into #GarysEconomics podcast?

Has #Blair inadvertently united the #Labour Party in reminding them that their raison d’être is to fight #inequality ?

Have we finally got two potential leaders who realise it’s the Left they need to be wooing, not the Right?

Juggling With EggsMay 27

If #Blair thought #Streeting would delight in his intervention as the candidate most often described as Blairite he’ll be disappointed.

Again, Streeting is saying all the right things, but whether we believe them or not is another matter…

Still don’t trust Wes #Streeting, but his policy choices are cannily designed to appeal to former metropolitan #Labour voters aged 25 to 50, who are dissatisfied with what they’re getting under #Starmer.

The assumption a week ago would be that Streeting as PM would be Starmer on steroids…but he’s playing very hard to make you think he wouldn’t be.

Wes #Streeting has just denounced the social-democratic #SNP and #PlaidCymru governments as an "existential threat", along with the far-right #ReformUK.

He calls it "Labour's fight for the soul of our country."

Thanks, Wes, for that reminder of why I have come to loathe and despise the so-called #LabourParty".😡
