Wes Streeting: ‘If I’m going out, I’m a binge drinker – terrible messaging for the shadow health secretary!’

  1. So, Wes is scared of being seen as an out of touch right wing bore, so chooses to lean into the ‘im a bit of a working class lad, not a ponce” nonsense.

    Brave approach, but make sure you know how to eat a bacon butty on camera first wes

  2. “Oooo, I’m such a lad, just like the modern folk these days.”

    Never mind that the attitude towards binge drinking, that I’ve noticed at least, has long turned away from the ‘lad’ perception of the 90s & 2000s.

    He’s just coming across as another out of touch pillock for a politician.

    I dislike this country and the current political system.

  3. Britain has a crippling relationship with alcohol and its a large part of why ‘ARR N AY CHESS’ is so fucked up.

    They get battered in A&E on the Fri/Sat night, then try and clear their backlog the next few days. Rinse and repeat. Every week. Forever.

  4. As Margaret Thatcher made clear, by her actions, it’s not the background of the person that matters but who they are as a person.

    Both Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer keep telling us about their relatives rather than revealing much about themselves. Once they are in power, by *their* actions, we will certainly be able to tell what sort of people they actually are.

    I’m not expecting it to be good news but I haven’t completely given up.

  5. Given how unhealthy Terese Coffee is, it seems that being healthy yourself is now no longer a requirement to be health secretary.

  6. This guy has always been a nasty little red Tory.

    Which of course means he’ll be prime minister one day.

    Sigh.
