Starmer faces a political crisis over his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as U.S. ambassador despite knowing his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, undermining public trust and leaving him vulnerable within his Labour Party. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/02/06/world/starmer-facing-final-curtain/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #keirstarmer #petermandelson #jeffreyepstein #labourparty #edmiliband #wesstreeting #tories
Discontent over Keir Starmer鈥檚 handling of revelations about former U.S. ambassador鈥檚 friendship with pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein has members of the Labour Party contemplating a change of leader. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/08/world/politics/labour-figures-replace-starmer/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #keirstarmer #uk #edmiliband #labour #shabanamahmood #angelarayner #wesstreeting #andyburnham
Wes Streeting's abilities are being scrutinized, with some Labour MPs questioning whether he has what it takes to be a better prime minister than Starmer. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/30/world/slick-eastender-britains-next-prime-minister/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #keirstarmer #andyburnham #wesstreeting #labourparty #reformuk #tonyblair #uk #nigelfarage

John Harris on Wes Streeting and the "overdiagnosis" trope
"Why is our health secretary picking over the number of diagnoses, when he could be focusing on why our systems of work, education and care are still so closed off to the people who get them?"
The ever-excellent John Harris dissects the nasty "overdiagnosis" trope, currently promoted by Wes Streeting and our nightmare Labour government. His style is calm and balanced, but I can feel the underlying rage.
John Harris is a good man.

Very well put.
People making statements which set the agenda for public opinion and policies, that have no relationship to reality and ignore the impact on those most affected by, are the very worst kind of people, responsible for so much harm in society.
UK's #WesStreeting is a neoliberal sociopath, an ideologically and self advancement motivated politician, surrounded by people with his own mindset.

The real risk to the NHS, the real risk of harm to patients is fifteen years of decline, loss of staff and training places.
The real risk to the #NHS is #WesStreeting and #UKLabour not turning the tide.
In 2010 the NHS was both best in the world and best value (half the cost of the US insurance system that benefits corporations and bankrupts patients).
The Tories and this Labour government are knowingly destroying the jewel of UK public services.

The thing about #WesStreeting supposedly challenging #Starmer is that both of them are such huge pieces of shit, that it makes no difference which turd wins.
It isn't even rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic. It is arguing about who is allowed to shit on the floor of the bathroom on the Titanic.
we're still gonna be in the shit.
