Yep, he wants nothing but deregulating crypto to help his crypto business and scrapping net zero to help his aviation fuel business. Which by pure coincidence are two of our policies.

So far as Labour members are concerned Rayner is like a chippy tea after studies show it’s actually good for you whereas Streeting is like boiled kale after scientists have proved that it’s toxic.
And I suspect she’d win. I think many members would like a leader who reflects who they are & not one that makes them embarrassed.
Angela Rayner and the soft left do not like the idea of a Wes Streeting coronation
Rayner has told friends she would stand in a leadership contest to stop him

Not at all surprising. I remember when his car was in a crash in Kent. A young child was in the other car but it didn't stop him beggering off without checking the other vehicle's occupants were safe.

Angela Rayner is Wes Streeting’s biggest obstacle to PM
But would she even want to be leader?

changing ISA rules to encourage people to invest in shares rather than cash would be a reasonable idea *if* the FTSE wasn’t currently touching a huge all-time high
instead it looks like an attempt to push retail investors into the stock market at (potentially) the worst possible time
