Labour's Shadow Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, has been writing in The Sun and winning its support for his diagnosis for NHS reform. As they note:

THE Shadow Health Secretary warns the NHS today that there will be no additional funding without the “major surgery” of reform under Labour.

Wes Streeting asks for Sun readers’ backing for a massive overhaul of our troubled healthcare system.

They added:

[This] would include bringing in the private sector to help cut ­waiting times.

Their conclusion was:

Pitching himself against healthcare unions and Labour supporters, he says “middle-class lefties cry ‘betrayal’”, but he is “up for the fight”.

Now I know he did not write the Sun's story, but he chose to talk about this in The Sun, and he used the words he is quoted as saying - because that is the way that these things work.

So, we have a Labour shadow minister actively seeking office, declaring war on his own party's natural supporters and the NHS unions. And people wonder why I can see nothing of merit left in Labour.

This labour leadership is a total disgrace, having sold out on any remaining principles the right of the Party ever had.
