https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/feb/18/labour-lancashire-fear-party-annihilated-polls-keir-starmer-u-turn. #Labour are going to get annihilated just about everywhere in May, I suspect - & the fault lies with Keir #Starmer. Calls for his head on a silver platter will become overwhelming, & the man will just have to go. The #LabourParty will be foolish indeed if it elects Wes #Streeting to replace him.
#Streeting
When you consider that #Streeting
" .... went on to serve as head of education at Stonewall, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights charity (for one year and six months), where he led their Education for All campaign to tackle homophobia in schools." (From Wikipedia)
One wonders what he is thinking, and if he did that job at all well.
#NHS should work for everone.
#ukgovernment
When you hear the #NHS and Wes #Streeting tell you to visit a pharmacist to take pressure off GPs, the reality is that pharmacists can't make ends meet.
My son is a pharmacist. He got *zero* financial help from the state to become an essential #health worker. He has somewhere in the region of £60k student debt. The NHS he would like to serve is on its knees and offers poor pay and conditions.
That's the reality that rewarding bankers for failure, and brexit, gives you
A small change, but welcome. Now let us cap *all* political donations to, say 1/12 of the median income in the UK. Buying politics and politicians is a staple of British politics (at least for #Labour, the #Tories and #Reform). It makes a mockery of our so called #democracy. Why should the ‘Health Secretary' (#Streeting) require hundreds of thousands of pound in donations from private health care companies?
“PM says aide linked to sex offender ‘did not give full account of his actions’ before he was made peer.” Perhaps our Keir should be asking the right questions. Again! It’s obviously time he went but we might get Streeting. Frying pan and fire come to mind. #Starmer #Streeting #Doyle #Mandelson
Shame #Streeting didn't come out and say this 2 years ago but maintaining Labour unity I suspect was more important to Streeting than calling out a #genocide

#Streeting relationship with #Mandelson although unsavoury is nothing compared to him being funded by private healthcare companies to privatise the #NHS Private healthcare related donations received 2023-2025 £224,575 - source @everydoctor.org.uk@bsky.brid.gy privatisation.everydoctor.org.uk/mp/wes-stree...

How does the Health Secretary find time to write a piece for The Guardian ?
Streeting wrote off his re-election chances in WhatsApp exchanges with Mandelson https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/feb/09/streeting-wrote-off-his-re-election-chances-in-whatsapp-exchanges-with-mandelson?CMP=share_btn_url
This is such an obvious desperate bid for power from #Streeting - releasing his WhatsApp messages with #Mandelson for all to read.
You can almost viscerally feel him kick #Starmer in the knees at the same point he’s sent his coordinated Cabinet tweet of support.
The desperate grab for media attention is completely #Mandelson.

Again, and again and again, UK Labour
WHAT do you think you are doing handing out British taxpayer contracts to Palantir ?
Yes you #Starmer, you #Streeting, you #Healey .
What does it take for you people to be jolted out of your bubble, and start listening to those who lent you their vote, in trust & expectation?
“Desperate [UK #Labour Health Secretary Wes] Streeting tries to distance himself from Mandelson”
by Antifabot in The Canary
“With no previous mentions of #Epstein, this seems to be political posturing. And at a time when #Starmer’s position is weakened as prime minister, this is obviously a transparent attempt to undermine him in preparation for a future leadership challenge”
https://www.thecanary.co/opinion/2026/02/04/streeting-tries-to-distance/
UK's #LabourParty is in crisis. Disgraced #Starmer should be gone already, but the succession is broken.
Frontrunner #Burnham is excluded. #Rayner is most popular alternative, but busy with #HMRC. Ambitious rightwingers #WesStreeting & #ShabanaMahmood can win only if Rayner is still on the bench.
So the incentives are inverted. Rayner is the most anti-Starmer candidate, but needs him to stay on. #Starmtroopers #Streeting & Mahmood need Starmer gone now.
This will be dirty. #Popcorn!
The fallout from #Mandelson and #Epstein relating to just #Palantir could bring down not only #Starmer, but #Streeting and #Healey too.
Who will be the beneficiary? #Rayner ?
“Starmer urged to sack ‘disloyal’ Streeting”
by Willem Moore in The Canary
“Make no mistake; Streeting is offering continuity dead-end centrism at a moment when the public is united in their loathing of wishy washy half measures that benefit no one besides private corporations”
