  1. theguardian.com/politics/2026/. I'll believe THAT when it happens, & not one single nanosecond before! I predict that #Burnham, #Miliband & #Streeting will follow the usual supine #Blair #policy with respect to any #US #President, including Donald #Trump, "Yes sir, no sir, three bags full, sir." The recent refusal by #Starmer to allow British-based #USAF airbases for attacks on #Iran was the nearest thing to #rebellion that any #Labour PM has come since the days of Harold Wilson.

    “Andy Burnham’s new defence secretary is now responsible for the military treaty with a country he believes exhibits ‘rogue state behaviour’”

    [..]

    “Late last July, as a famine unfolded in Gaza and Israeli settler attacks intensified in the West Bank, Wes Streeting texted a friend shortly before midnight.

    “‘Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes,’ the then health secretary told Peter Mandelson over WhatsApp”

  5. Forget Andy Burnham's fancy words, and tiny measures on energy & buses. Follow the money. ££££.

    The big money is for war. In the next decade, #Burnham, #Healey & #Streeting are pouring over £100 billion extra into weapons. theguardian.com/politics/2026/

    This money is not for "#defence".

    There is no defensive use for destroyers or nuclear submarines or aircraft carriers. These are weapons of attack.

    Money that should be invested in people and in infrastructure is being squandered on war.

  7. The UK news media frets over #AndyBurnham's choice of #Chancellor. Mostly #Miliband & #Mahmood, but also #Cooper & #Streeting.

    #Burnham should reject all 4 big beasts.

    They are dangerous. Too much clout. Not controllable.

    Andy needs a weak chancellor, to weaken the Treasury as power shifts north. Like #JackChambers, who Micheál Martin appointed aged 33 as Ireland's Finance Minister. Energetic, disciplined, competent, & weak.

    If you've heard of the new Chancellor, it's a bad choice.

    #Mahmood: She's basically a #Fascist
    #Streeting: He's a wholly-owned subsidiary of the US 'healthcare' industry.

    There are plenty of others who are objectionable, too, but those two are the worst.

  11. For any Brits out there who think Burnham is gonna be any different from the #KidStarver when he becomes PM … think again!!!

    Burnham is a total snake! Like Starmer, he’s a “creature” of the #IsraelLobby & the neoliberal Labour Party “machine” that has totally destroyed the Left & participated in Israel’s genocide cs Gaza! He’ll say & do anything to get into power!

  13. The legacy of #Starmer and #Streeting …the death of frontline services in the #NHS to placate #Trump and big pharma.

    The cost will be hundreds of thousands of lives.

    But was there a purpose beyond appeasing Trump…is this actually about forcing the majority of Brits to use private healthcare funded by insurance?

  15. #Streeting fucked up as #Health Secretary.

    Very soon after his resignation, the problems he didn't cause, but kept problematic are resolved to a first stage.

    I suspect he would mess up other ministries if given the chance.

    Let’s start with the Gaza betrayal, because nothing exposes the utterly hollow core of Starmerism quite like it”

    Let’s face it … Streeting is a useless c#nt of a Health Secretary who is in the pockets of various wealthy individuals with interests in privatising the NHS! *He* should also stand down with Starmer! I seriously hope Burnham does the right thing sends him (along with #LabourTogether ghoul #Mahmood) to the back benches!

  23. @pre My interest is not viability of the fantasy, but the unrepentant imperial arrogance of British political discourse.

    The feckers looted a quarter of the feckin planet, and still feckin onanise themselves to the fantasy that looting, genocide, & enslavement is evidence of such feckin genius that their feckin museum of feckin non-British feckin loot is actually feckin called the feckin #BritishMuseum rather than the feckin Loot Museum.

  25. The #BritishEmpire died in the 1960s. It was formally ended in January 1983 by Maragret Thatcher. #WesStreeting wasn't even born then.

    #Streeting's statement of support for Andy #Burnham says he wants Britain to "lead the world in the fourth industrial revolution". 🤮 theguardian.com/politics/live/

    This is komplete krap. There is zero possibility of Britain being a world leader in AI & related technologies. Zero.

    When will British politics grow up, and reject such imperialist fantasists?

    Probably true. Who wants Streeting outside the tent, pissing in?

    Paul suggests Chancellor or #ForeignSecretary.

    Streeting's love of private equity would make him a scary Chancellor.

    But Foreign Sec could be interesting. The v talented young Palestinian Leanne Mohamad is ready to take Wes's #IlfordNorth seat, so Wes would have to be very tough on Israel.

  29. Andy #Burnham's team want to replace Keir #Starmer without contest, says #TheGuardian. theguardian.com/politics/2026/

    His only plausible competitor is the repugnant Wes #Streeting 🤮, which makes a contest unappealing.

    But Labour has been here before. In 2007 #GordonBrown bullied so many MPs to back him that no other nomination was numerically possible. Brown got his coronation, but was a political disaster. He simply couldn't communicate.

    Maybe the repulsive Streeting could be a useful foil?

  31. #Streeting goes on to state:

    “Bond markets are not Bond villains and fiscal rules matter. Fiscal discipline matters because credibility is the precondition for an activist state. With debt approaching 100% of GDP, Britain has very little room for error.”

    But do the Bond markets have compassion, belief in a long term green agenda or public spending that is required for infrastructure, health or education?

    Or do they want to see a return on their investment within 5 years tops?

  33. Wes #Streeting thinks he can create ‘progressive capitalism’.

    If he were in power he would announce:

    ‘emergency laws to build #datacentres and #nuclear power generation’

    Also…more drilling to go ahead in the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields in the North Sea.

    And…a national “global talent programme” with the aim of recruiting 20,000 world-leading scientists, #AI experts and engineers to the UK over the next three years.

    Hmmm…how very ‘progressive’ /s

  35. There’s a lot of noise around Starmer’s social media ban for under 16s to distract attention from all the Reform lite policies.
    In 15 weeks Britain will have new PM and the chance to bin this ridiculous policy. Meanwhile the assault on our civil liberties continues.

    So what's #WesStreeting up to? Today's interview with #LewisGoodall on #TheNewsAgents is less assassination, more frenzied knife-attack on #Starmer. youtu.be/8VUDvtZWrtg

    I am sure it's very calculated. But what's #Streeting's plan?

    Is he trying to be the kingmaker who #Burnham can't refuse a top job?

    Or is this part of a longer plan to let Burnham crash and burn?
