Wes Streeting stylishing insisting he's a faithful and condemning Downing Street for trying to "kneecap" him showing why he'd make a better Prime Minister than Keir Starmer.

Well done No 10.
November 12, 2025 at 8:30 AM
Another Downing Street own goal when a fool or fools briefed Starmer would fight a leadership challenge, thereby confirming he’s under threat and turbo-charging Labour potential regime change fever.

The PM’s worst enemies are people he’s employing in No 10!

Donald Trump in the US pardons scores of supporters for their roles in his plot to steal the 2020 election from Joe Biden and the scandal in Britain is a bad edit in a BBC hour-long programme on that attempted coup.

Editorial standards matter as @bbcnickrobinson said but there is also a concerted campaign to destroy the BBC by some politicians and media rivals.
