I'm so confused why the Labour MP wouldn't want to be named on this quote apart from not wishing to lose any sort of political ambitions (which, if your party is doing this, well... I hate to break it to you but...)
Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.

idk many a trade union may wish to think about if their subs are worth propping up whatever this is
'Don't tell me you don't want to be out on strike - because that is exactly where you are. Own it.'
As resident doctors walk out again, Wes Streeting calls out the 'reprehensible and cartel-like behaviour' of their union.

ugh, the idea of wes streeting actually saying that is a little unsettling...
NEW: Wes Streeting says it’s “categorically untrue” that he’s plotting a coup against Keir Starmer.
“Whoever has been briefing this has been watching too much celebrity traitors.
“The briefing about me is the most unjustified attack against the faithful since Joe Marler was banished in the final.”

Maitlis, like all of the freaks on this programme, are too stupid (and egotistical) for their own good. An outcome where ‘this will close the only healthcare facility doing this’ is not really not worth the story.

Criticism of the BBC as an institution from the left is kinda wild; esp. in the context of every other news media organisation being owned by a billionare. I would really love to hear what the alternative is...

Hi Lisa Nandy! I’m a BAFTA winner from a small town. Instead of asinine questions like this, why not tell us how we can continue to make a living in the eviscerated creative sector over which you notionally preside?

So wild to me, because arguably being the British Culture Sec would be the easiest and most fun cabinet position if you… liked culture…
The mystery of “what culture is she interested in?”. She did not go to a single Prom. She has no interest in who actually wins Baftas. She is not interested in the Mercury Prize.
The last Mercury Prize went to a lad from North Shields, you'd think she'd be all over that but nope, zero interest
