good morning. wes streetThe shadow health secretary was today the main speaker at a conference organized by the Institute of Government think tank, and an overnight press briefing said his speech was an attack on the “waste” of the NHS and echoed Labor's manifesto. It will be. It's more efficient. This is a relatively standard opposition theme. When Labor was in power, the Conservatives said much the same thing. But the street also Interview with Sun He used this message to promote his own message, which will likely garner more attention. Because he used this message to accuse his party of being too nostalgic about the NHS.
He told the paper:
I think the Labor Party is sometimes too strongly guided by nostalgia. It would be the easiest thing in the world to go into the next general election saying things like “the worst crisis in the history of the NHS'', “we can't trust the Tories when it comes to the NHS'', “we have 24 hours to save the NHS'', but this… Nye Bevan's lovely sepia-toned film.
when the sun harry cole He told The Street that that was exactly what Labor campaigned against the NHS in the election. street Answered:
Well, we haven't had a very good performance in the last four games, so we don't want to repeat the same mistakes.
Mr Street also reiterated his previous claims as shadow health secretary that what the NHS needs most is reform, not extra funding.
You can't just keep pouring ever-increasing amounts into a leaky bucket, you have to deal with the bucket itself.
And on NHS funding, he told The Sun:
It is not right to continue asking low- to middle-income people to pay higher taxes when they are struggling. And it's not true that they get less for the money they put in.
Details of the interview and speech will be posted soon.
Otherwise, there will be a Cabinet meeting today, with Rishi Sunak's parliamentary statement expected on the recent airstrikes against the Houthis. These are fully covered in his blog Live on the Middle East Crisis.
The agenda for the day is:
9.15am: Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting speaks at the Institute of Government's annual conference. Other participants include former Conservative Party prime minister Kwasi Kwarteng, who will speak on the panel, and Cabinet Office minister John Glen, who will also speak. The complete agenda is here.
AM: Rishi Sunak cabinet chair.
11.30am: Lobby briefing held in Downing Street.
11.30am: Health Secretary Victoria Atkins takes questions in the House of Commons.
After 12.30pm: Rishi Sunak is expected to make a statement to MPs about recent airstrikes against the Houthis.
Just after 1.30pm: MPs debate Labor's no-day motion. If passed, the motion will set aside a day for the House of Commons to consider and pass a labor bill on truancy, which would require the government to create a national register of out-of-school children. .
