It's not just trans people Wes is doing everything he can to get the NHS to stop treating.

From Peston on Twitter: Streeting thinks the NHS suffers from “anti-whiteness”. On the right, a BMJ report into sickle cell care.

He conveniently forgot to mention this https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/jul/23/national-disgrace-black-mothers-in-england-twice-as-likely-to-have-nhs-birth-investigated

Hello sandy, sorry for bothering you.iam Elham from gaza 🍉,I hope you read my story and donate if you can, or share the pinned post, as I am in dire need of help.🙏🍉

mattevansc3.bsky.social•42 days ago

Do you have a link to that tweet? Tried googling it but no results came up.

betransdocri.me•42 days ago

As someone who works in mental health, this is idiotic. We don't not see guys because we're 'all about the women' now, it's just about training and awareness. Streeting is just virtue signalling because he thinks that being Trumpian is the new thing.

seasausage.bsky.social•42 days ago

More like vice signaling- he's showing them he can be a shithead too

betransdocri.me•42 days ago

Yeah, that makes more sense x

ruonblu.bsky.social•42 days ago

Dawn Foster proved right over and over again about that cunt

officer-blackavar.bsky.social•42 days ago

Streeting sounds more and more like he wants to join Reform.

danni-capelin.bsky.social•42 days ago

He doesn't need to as Labour have moved so far to the right on social issues there isn't much between them & reform & the Tories.

jesswhitecroft.bsky.social•42 days ago

What the actual hell is wrong with this man?

stylistic.bsky.social•42 days ago

It comes in the middle of a wild pivot he does in answer to a question on structural racism (almost doing the 'When is International Mens day' bit). https://youtu.be/gX98vPxj3qg?t=2603

sarahviktoria.bsky.social•42 days ago

Streeting appears to be using an inverted misrepresentation of equality to attack equality. This is a classic right wing paradigm.

edpoole1975.bsky.social•42 days ago

Wes Streeting being both racist AND misogynist? Almost like he has a track record for this 🤔

alanlxx.bsky.social•42 days ago

I had to double check he wasn't a Tory. Labour have such a talent shortage, can't they appoint any competent ministers

smazak.bsky.social•42 days ago

Oh he's a tory alright

britestoan.bsky.social•42 days ago

To them this is competence.

jacklikesfilms.bsky.social•42 days ago

He's absolutely a Tory.

And Labour's problem isn't a lack of talent, it's a lack of empathy, humanity and decency.

We don't want Labour to be competent when their goals are so abhorrent, it's better if they fail to achieve them.

samantha42.bsky.social•42 days ago

Labour have become tories. There is very little distinction between the two at this point

marcusjdl.bsky.social•42 days ago

they put ideology before competence

petermcgladdery.bsky.social•42 days ago

mrobinson.bsky.social•42 days ago

Everything I've heard about Streeting seems to indicate he's very much in the wrong party.

slowcrush.bsky.social•42 days ago

Oh, he’s very much in the right party.

mrobinson.bsky.social•42 days ago

I guess it depends on whether you think of Starmerism as making the party what it should be. Personally I'd rather Streeting and Starmer joined the Conservatives where they belong.

samantha42.bsky.social•42 days ago

The labour party that you remember is dead. This is who they are now.

mrobinson.bsky.social•42 days ago

Tbf it's not like Labour have always been great. Tony Blair etc etc. Either way I'm a Green Party member now.

dinokdot.bsky.social•42 days ago

Slightly unrelated but there’s a showing of Sickle, a docufilm being shown by the Red Cell Network at the Tottenham Ct Rd Odeon on Thursday 27th Feb. Tickets are free.

sloanefragment.bsky.social•42 days ago

that’s absolutely wild.

he needs deprogramming. 🙄

merthyr1831.bsky.social•42 days ago

defenestrating*

annacup.bsky.social•42 days ago

What have we done to deserve this???? 😭

rthrtylr.bsky.social•42 days ago

What have the British done to deserve this?

Gosh. Where to begin.

fatgayfriend.bsky.social•42 days ago

Very sure that black British people do not, in fact “deserve” this.

annacup.bsky.social•42 days ago

No one does.

rthrtylr.bsky.social•42 days ago

And yet the British persist in voting, en masse, for massive racists and bigots. It’s almost as though, once you peel off the cricket and fair-play, there’s an Unpleasantness.

foxdie.bsky.social•42 days ago

Interesting when bringing up suicide is and isn't "shroud waving" eh?

marcusjdl.bsky.social•42 days ago

Wes Streeting joins in the culture wars over DEI without understanding that it will kill more people. Not fit for office. And unsurprisingly, the above is not headline news.

zoonie.bsky.social•42 days ago

How has this yob remained a member of the Labour Party?

Did they win the election and then collectively lose their nerve? They don't have to pander to the right, no one is making them, good Gods.

mancalledhorse.bsky.social•42 days ago

They're not pandering to the right. They *are* the right and have been ever since the post-Corbyn purges

mancalledhorse.bsky.social•42 days ago

The people in charge of Labour now put more energy into sabotaging their own party than beating Johnson's Tories and bear a large part of the blame for the subsequent 5 years of chaotic misrule, but it got them in power because they simply waited for a huge anti Tory tactical vote

zoonie.bsky.social•42 days ago

To be fair, that is the way it has always run

yesbno.bsky.social•42 days ago

Has he been a subject of bad gays podcast because if not he's just piling on reasons to be

agodfreycollins.bsky.social•37 days ago

Oh and I just discovered there is actually a Bad Gays episode about Streeting! But only for Patreon subscribers.

yesbno.bsky.social•35 days ago

Just dug it out and it plays!

yesbno.bsky.social•35 days ago

Oh it's preview only :/ sorry

agodfreycollins.bsky.social•42 days ago

I guess he's not yet a "historical" figure so perhaps not eligible? But I hope they will do one the day after he loses his re-election and finally becomes history.

jocanib.bsky.social•42 days ago

Also, without understanding that it includes class, the often conveniently forgotten intersection.

okwonga.bsky.social•42 days ago

Jesus Christ he sounds like he is already in Farage’s cabinet.

blewishand.bsky.social•40 days ago

It is aligned to Lammy's recent remarks about "liberal outrage" for Sudan. It is a risky game for them to play.

feministgothic.bsky.social•42 days ago

Whole political class would greatly benefit from a sociology seminar or two, if they DO THE READING.

feministgothic.bsky.social•42 days ago

Sociology (like Critical Marxism and Feminism) is blanketly dismissed as trivial, insubstantial statement making (of the kind engaged in by ill informed politicians and 'content' makers doing the dismissal) rather than a serious field of argument and analysis.
