Here's a cynical thought...

Given Wes Streeting is Keir Starner's most likely challenger for the job of PM, it would seem to be in Starmer's interest to make sure Streeting's time at the Dept. of Health is far from successful;

so, in personal political terms its in Starmer's interest to obstruct any workable reform that Streeting comes up with but allow him to introduce policies that would (likely), in the short-term, at least compound the crisis....

Just sayin'

@ChrisMayLA6 Does #Starmer even need to bother sabotaging Wes?

#Streeting has the necessary ambition and obnoxiousness, and the #neoliberal zeal. But Leanne Mohamad killed Streeting's chances of the leadership.

Who wants a party leader that will have to spend most of their campaigning time trying to save their own seat? Who wants a leader whose chances of holding his seat are vanishingly slim?
