Wes Streeting is “pretty frustrated, tbh”

Ailbhe Rea met the Health Secretary to learn what he’s really thinking.


A few weeks ago, Wes Streeting was accused of plotting to overthrow Keir Starmer.

Streeting called the briefings an attempted drive-by, but it seems he dodged the bullet – and is still considered a front runner in what feels like an inevitable Labour leadership contest. 

On this episode of Daily Politics, Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Ailbhe Rea, who had a chance to sit down with Streeting this week and give him a grilling over a grilled chicken salad.
