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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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’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.
