This is a very good critique, but it's *incredibly* frustrating to hear it said by a former cabinet minister only after the first, crucial, two years of a landslide labour government have already been wasted.

Wes Streeting is right

Giving him the benefit of the doubt (I have no strong feelings about WS), it's possible he made these arguments in Cabinet and that's what his comments about heavy-handedness towards different opinions refer to.

Fgs it's not even been 2 years and the Tories left one helluva mess, Streeting as Health Secretary knows this and he knows ths Government has made an enormous difference already. It feels like I'm living in a parallel universe.

THEY HAVE NOT BEEN WASTED. Things have been improving, including the economy, which is a miracle after 14 years of political mayhem, Covid and Brexit. Labour has put through a lot of good legislation and has come through with many of its manifesto pledges.
