Wes Streeting must be the most frustrated man in politics, if not the country.
Always one of the more candid members of Sir Keir Starmer’s buttoned-up cabinet, not to say overtly ambitious, Mr Streeting openly declared himself as much by his “technocratic” party’s presentational shortcomings: “I feel like on one hand, since we’ve come into government, we’ve actually done a huge amount that we said we’d do … But that’s not reflected in the polls, and I don’t think it’s even reflected in our storytelling. I think we sell ourselves short.”
