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'.
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.
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.
Wes Streeting is literally the Westminster Lord Varys

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.
Streeting is just slimey. He does what's best for one person, Streeting.
