For me, Streeting is betting the house on people remembering/discovering Burnham's flaws and changing their preferences accordingly. He is already helping them to do so. And (again for me), it currently looks quite clever.

4% of Labour Party members pick Wes Streeting as their first choice for Labour leader

The new Health Secretary, despite previously saying ‘trans women are women’, stood by the Labour government line that "the provision of single-sex spaces is on the basis of biological sex" www.wearequeeraf.com/james-murray...

Hear them out:

Posie is one of the speakers at event, of course.

Hi Wes, just to remind you

If as he says, he places high value on trans people being able to “pass”, why does he ban the puberty blockers that make that far more possible for most? It’s total bollocks.

Having someone who hates himself as a gay man overseeing policy on conversion therapy was never going to end well

Nigel Farage insisting "I cannot be bought," after being exposed for secretly trousering £5 million from a crypto billionaire, buying a house with the money, and then immediately launching a lobbying campaign for the crypto industry, is quite something

Joanne Rowling's fellow traveller Kellie-Jay Keen is speaking at Tommy Robinson's rally tomorrow. Transphobia is the engine that pulls the train of fascism.

Peak Newport. Bless ‘em.

Man who said “Up the RA!” for £75 says “I can’t be bought by anybody.” 🤨

Billionaires shouldn’t exist because then news organizations could say blatantly true statements like “Elon musk is a racist eugenicist asshole” and not fear being sued into oblivion

Prince Harry gave an interview where he said "We must stand against both anti-semitism and anti-Muslim hate". Guess how Sky News, ITV, The Times and The BBC are reporting it? It's almost like there's an agenda in place.

We are delighted to sign the @tgeuorg.bsky.social “In This Together” manifesto, which so beautifully upholds and promotes our values of trans-inclusive feminist solidarity

So Peter Mandelson's bag carrier who had to resign over links to Mandelson has joined up to help fight the contest precipitated by Peter Mandelson's bag carrier's bag carrier, who had to resign for trying to smear Times journalists as spies? It's all gone a bit Jed Mercurio

Why exactly would a Thailand-based economic migrant secretly give Nigel Farage £5 million as a 'reward' for delivering Brexit? I won't get to ask either of them this question but every single journalist & broadcaster granted access could...

A cause for national shame. This is the Rainbow Map for LGBTI+ rights across Europe. Until 2015, the UK was top. We've now collapsed down the rankings - and are the worst in Western Europe. We're now near Albania.

The people who use these ponds want them to be trans-inclusive. Sex Matters want to tell them who they can and can not have at their own ponds. Time to see them for what they are: a bunch of mean-spirited curtain-twitching Mary Whitehouse busy-bodies. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The media is very, very definite about Streeting challenging Starmer. Not framed as a rumour, but as fact. I wonder who their source could be? 🤔

Straight male culture, 2026

A fellow Labour Party member once described Wes Streeting to me as Zippy from Rainbow if he'd been radicalized by Mumsnet. which is a very specific set of references but also disturbingly accurate.

Wes Streeting held a meeting with: • Genspect • Bayswater Support Group • CAN-SG • Integrated Psychology Clinic • LGB Alliance • Transgender Trend "To discuss gender policy issues"

Nigel Farage’s partner, a former waitress not known to have any private money, bought a £1 million house for cash shortly after he secretly received £5 million from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire - the same house that he claimed, months previously, that he was about to pay for himself.

He’s on manouevres 👀

This leadership shit, even now, is still not as important as the fact that FIVE MILLION QUID HAS BEEN PAID TO THE LEADER OF ONE OF OUR BIGGEST POLITICAL PARTIES

Wes Streeting seems to be a distillation of everything the country has just rejected into a pure undiluted form.

Can Wes find 81 Labour MPs who think that the party’s disastrous performance is last week’s elections is due to their policies not being transphobic enough? Stay tuned to Starmergeddon… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Naturally, the UK media barely registers the UK’s Black/Asian/Mixed population as a voting bloc other then incredibly racist discussions about Muslims’ “sectarian” voting - a word they don’t use for the white nationalists voting Reform.

On the list! www.markpack.org.uk/176783/how-m...

Aaaaaaaand another one. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I keep saying it, but no matter how you voted, we now have a Senedd which is practically inexperienced in how to enact policy (setting aside the wreckers in Reform who just don't want the Senedd to exist) because so many are new. Having the smallest civil service staff in the UK is a challenge.

The TERF to Reform pipeline continues to flow well

This is Joshua Kim, a migrant from South Korea who said "I am especially troubled by the influx of migrants into the UK". When he was elected to the Senedd for Reform he wasn't even there, because he never expected to win. Let's see if he lasts the week...

Reform's vetting failed. Now its leadership is failing too. 👎 Tice was asked to condemn Gibbins's racist comments today and couldn't do it. 📎 Our original investigation: hopenothate.org.uk/2026/05/01/m...

Mair has a good point here.

Is this Reform’s piddling version of the Reichstag fire?

The Trump regime has released their 2026 counter-terrorism strategy, declaring their focus will be on "identifying and neutralizing pro-transgender groups", comparing them (us) to cartels and Islamic terrorists, in order to "defend the homeland".

Ask and ye shall receive (tx Jack):

evangelicals have finally created. the golden calf. from the classic bible story “don’t create a golden calf”

CN: racism Looking forward to weeks of media coverage about Reform’s racism problem. Hello? Hello?

This is exactly what the BMA analysis of Cass criticized. The puberty-blocker ban is not supported by any evidence or research, even the biased pseudoscience of Cass. The transphobes promoted into powerful positions in the DHSC are getting more extreme and their fanatical hatred is showing through.

I would love someone to create a central list of what happens with all the chancers who thought it would be a lark to stand for Reform and are rapidly discovering the “find out” part of FAFO.

Kellner quietly, heroically pushing back on the narrative that Reform are the unstoppable wave of the future

JK Rowling now being represented by a non-binary South Asian MSP named ‘Q’ is like something out of a movie. I can’t stop cackling about it.

I’m not sure there is a bleaker - or older - phenomenon in politics than desperate voters turning to charlatans and bigots for change. Reform councillors will do nothing to help someone’s elderly Mum get social care or keep the local library open for kids. And Farage is laughing his arse off.
