Wes Streeting trying to play the guilt trip card is tacky. Get in a room with their negotiators and do not come out until an agreement is reached. Anything else is a failure on his part.

The US government is now a mafia organization.
He should show leadership and put the question to the people again. Re-joining the EU is the most sensible thing to do and would instantly boost his and Labour's ratings.
New analysis from Peter Kellner suggests the UK now has a clear pro-Rejoin majority – driven by generational change and millions of Leave voters switching sides.

Brexit: can Starmer seize this demographic opportunity?
Demography and disillusion join to give the government a real opportunity to transform our relations with the EU. Will Starmer dare seize it?

The thing I still can't forgive Corbyn for is the generational harm he caused by enabling Brexit. When Starmer is gone, hopefully soon, I will feel the same way about the profound harm he has caused by making it palatable for the Far Right to ditch human rights norms. It will be his shameful legacy.

The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline.
It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient.
It’s really hard. But there it is.
