The NHS is failing. For those UK folks making less than 80, 000 pounds the cost of health care will not be affordable. See the US system and medical costs. I would be very scared if I was not wealthy.

Didnt this man call an elder mp in parliament senile? While being shadow health secretly shameful

[jemshadow]

Are we sure Wes isnt Sir Keir's secret love child?

[herjinderbhatia]

Awful how this fool treated Jeremy Corbyn.

[braindonor]

Streeting is my least favourite Labour minister.
I find him to be slimey.

Don't recall such tough media Qs when Tories produced smear campaigns in the last 2 elections and brexit ! Not ideal, but holding the moral high ground hasn't worked for Labour so maybe time to change tack

Wes Streeting, along with Starmer himself, accepted large donations from people connected to private American Healthcare companies. Labour when last in power, rolled out massive amounts of PFI (private finance initiatives) which was exremely short term thinking as it damaged the NHS in the long term and crippled NHS financing. Labour has no real answers to saving the NHS.

Also in regard to the disgusting attack ads, Starmer was head of the CPS when they wrote the sentencing guidelines that judges must follow when convicting child abusers. He's more to blame than Tories for light sentences.

After breaking every pledge Starmer made to become Labour leader who would trust anything he or his party promises now anyway?

Every time I see Wes Streeting I start humming The Addams family tune..

Why are you not standing up for junior doctors, if you don’t pay NHS staff properly they’ll move to the private sector as has happened with dentists. Come out with a plan for NHS dentistry!

the need for GP's for about 10 years too late - it takes 5/6 years for me to be happy with a GP diagnosis in A&E

Labour entering gutter politics - shameful

[daviel]

Maybe once in a while the TV presenters will ask these Labour politicians why it is they haven't won a general election since 2005 if everything was so great under Labour leadership? 😉

[notforturning]

like watching the blind leading the blind

[milesforrester]

Get some principled people into the shadow cabinet

[StewartMiddleton]

GMB at its worst.Time to bring back Breakfast TV.

[BaileyM]

It's hilarious how anyone can get arsey about Labour "attack ads" after how much the Tories and their media smears people not in the Tory party 🤣. Those adverts aren't wrong at all.

[stukavonferno]

There's a seriously strong whiff of desperation around Labour's delusional guff and waffle!

[satanritual]

I was drugged raped and cut at Swindon dental anaesthetic clinic and a person was murdered

[joannec]

Ask Wes Streeting about the pet shop. Please. Google if you don't know what I'm referring to. This is a bad man. Why he thinks he has a place in the Labour Party is beyond me.

Despise Labour even more (Mr Streeting is not even close to being one of the worst of them)
