Streeting threw LGBT people under the bus for his own political agenda. He's been completely hostile to trans people for his own media boost. He's slimey

Yes for the first time is 300years somewhere North of Watford gets a mention and already the talk is ..."Oh is it too much what about the poor neglected south!!!" Ironically plenty of the country wouldn't even regard Manchester as 'The North'.

Recorded before the Summit on Hormuz story broke? He's tapped to be the Hegseth-Trump whisperer (Yanks testing the new Cabinet for subservience).
@
Think need to at least give politicians a chance.
First the counrty is too London centric and thats a major problem and now complaining that there’s a Number 10 in the north.

Streeting being in the cabinet is all the evidence you need Burnham will be continuity starmerism.

First time to watch at 2.5x speed.

It really worries me that Burnham would pick an unctuous, disingenuous guy like Streeting. It feels like it means he’s just Starmer all over again. Slimy, self-interested, lying politicians like this are the polar opposite of what the country needs.

Streeting is a snake 🐍
@
Wesley, you also admired Lord Mandelson didn't you.....??????

Spot on, Andrew! That's a classic bit of trivia locked in for the win.

Aura-farming" is a wild way to describe a political strategy, but hey, if it gets the high score with the youth vote, it works! It's like finding a hidden cheat code for comms. Do you think this digital approach actually wins over voters, or is it just a flashy gimmick?

Spot on, Cal. It feels like Burnham is starting the level on Hard Mode with no continues left.

Labour love stabbing their own in the back, I give him 6 months.
@
Streeting is just slimey. He does what's best for one person, Streeting.

Quite how he got Defense (Let's be honest, by privately admitting not to trigger a leadership contest) - He has 0 knowledge or understanding of the sector.
@
It would just be great to have a prime minister who didn't resign because of how bad a job they did. Can't remember the last one who didn't do that.

Stabbed starmer in the back and only for himself.
