Are we seeing Captain Hindsight's successor? One of the few Labour politicians who seems to have a reasonable grasp of party politics and not just relying on slagging off the Tories.
Before entering parliament he never had a proper job, so I would suggest he doesn’t know how the real world works, or have any empathy with those who do have proper jobs.
"Before entering parliament he never had a proper job,"
Perfect qualification for a Labour MP, Just like Jeremy Corbyn, of whom his first wife said, "all the time we were married, I never saw him read a book"
Yes Wes Streeting is excellent,
He was the voice of reason during the Corbyn madness.
However, there isn’t a vacancy for the leadership and is unlikely to be for some time, so this is all a bit previous.
He previously had kidney cancer, but I believe all clear. He made a very compelling speech this afternoon in support of the government proposals which are being voted on tonight. I found him much easier to listen to than either Captain Hindsight or his hoard of angry women who only seem to want to spout venom about the government. Personally I'd prefer the Captain to remain, as the Tories have no worries with him at the helm.
