Streeting exemplifies the Labour right wing careerist: self centred, craves personal power, likes photo opportunities, no political ideas, no socialist principles. He is also an odious human being and clearly a perfect fit for Starmer’s anti-socialist, anti-democratic government.

The problem with Streeting (aside from all the other problems with Streeting) is that he appears to want to be PM purely for the fact of being PM as a win & of in itself. It’s hard to detect any kind of sincere ideology, or even ideas really, other than whatever he thinks will get him there.
I was talking to a Labour MP the other day who said it would be easier to get behind Wes if he could just mask his ambition a little bit...

If you taxed every Billionaire in the UK so they only had £1bn you would get £1.1tn, an entire year’s worth of tax revenue.
It would affect only 173 People.
Tax the Rich, they’ve stolen all the money and dodged tax for decades.
It‘s time for payback.

This is a brilliant (if worrying) thread that sums up Lammy's incompetence and dishonesty. It also illustrates the contempt this government has for justice and fairness, and for voters, since restricting jury trials is yet another policy that was not in the Labour manifesto.

To break impasse in David Lammy refusing to meet representatives of the hunger strikers I’ve proposed he appoint a mediator to commence discussions with the hunger strikers’ representatives. For those of us who were around in early 1980s hunger strikes tragically we know how this could go.
