It’s almost an example of Betteridge’s law of headlines.
Streeting already has the NHS and now, following a review due to complete in 2028(!), is talking about creating a second Stalinist empire to be called the National Care Service. This had been mooted by Gordon Brown’s Labour Government but it never got anywhere.
A NCS and the NHS would fight like rats in a sack competing for the same budget and pushing all their “customers” and their associated costs towards their rival organization, whilst striving to maximize the number of employees of their own organizations.
Health and social care are not two separate things, they are the two ends of the same scale. Streeting’s has demonstrated his inability to think by going down the wrong path before his 3+ year study has even begun.

He wouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the Labour Party if he could…
Addolff
At least Wes got his ‘failed to get elected in the 2024 general election’ boyfriend a nicely paid job in Government…..

Addolff, there’s something about that smooth, round, shiny face, haircut, and characteristic facial expression, that seems indicative of type. I’ve not paid attention so I don’t know but is this rumour confirmed? And why might it remain a rumour, in our modern age in which homosexuality is not merely tolerated but near-mandatory?
The Meissen Bison
Redound?

Strange how one can do that, isn’t it?
Bloke I was introduced to in a bar, couple of nights back. Similar characteristics but Danish. My question after he’d departed “Iron*?” on no actual evidence, whatsoever. Reply “Definitely. The young lad over there’s the boyfriend.”
*The actual word was maricon. It’s somewhat less polite.

BiS, it’s funny how the same doesn’t apply so much to the female of the species, apart from those in obvious fancy dress pretending to be truck drivers or Greenham Wimmin. Something to do with the, er, diet, perhaps?
A client of mine, jewellery brochure designer, has a a corkboard in his studio covered in photos of trips away with his friends. All unmistakably have that look, and no matter how pumped their muscles it has something unhealthy about it. Odd, as you say, despite that as far as I’m concerned I have no objection to what they do in their own time with each others’ consent.

Wes Streeting is the best health minister we’ve had in decades.
Sure, he should probably be a Club 18-30 rep in Tenerife instead of an MP, but we had a Conservative government for 14 years that was handing out “puberty blockers” to children as if they were sweeties.
Wes Streeting stopped that nonsense within about 5 minutes of taking office.

His constituency is largely Muslim.

Eh, it’s not a rumour chaps. Wes Streeting was already openly gay before entering (ooh err) politics.

Streeting looked at the evidence and came down against puberty blockers much to the distaste of most of his party. Given the typical craven MP’s we have that should be applauded
