Wes Streeting Roasts Tory Victoria Atkins Over Cronyism!

Wes Streeting tore Victoria Atkins apart.
"She was the 5th Secretary of State, & among the worst... but if she wants to lead with her chin & talk cronyism... let's talk cronyism... let's not even get into Michelle Mone & her £200m contract for PPE..."

This was fabulous, he drop kicked social climbing waste of space Atkins out of the ring.😂.

[@seanrooney3446]

They don't deserve the amount of parliamentary time they gave. Holding Labour to account is important. Tories have no moral or ethical stance.

[@WelshWing98]

Good speech here by Wes

[@polheg1]

Totally agree with Wes Streeting.

[@merkvandermeulen3978]

He could have mentioned that, deliberate or not, decades long Tory under-funding & wasting the rest of it on useless t&t and PPE has taken lives. Literally, and all Victoria does here is smirk at the victims.

[@candidaprout560]

Good evening Max and all here. Well done. The truth has to be told loud.

[@Captain-l2p]

Didnt this tory once show how ignorant she is by saying "junior doctors,or as i call them doctors in training"?

[@petyrkowalski9887]

Yes she did

[@petelove9731]

Yes she did. An amateur Tory politician amongst many Tory amateur politicians.

Junior doctor is a phase used within healthcare. I wouldn't get too hung up on that.

[@Captain-l2p]

[@battlep0t]

@@seebarry4068 A Junior Doctor is a qualified medical professional who needs to be registered with the GMC. And the term encompasses Foundation Year doctors, Senior House Officers and Registrars. A doctor in training would be a medical student which is different.

The patronising Atkins was rummaging speculatively in some grubby little rag bag of "possibilities". She is worse in opposition than in office. She was given a taste of reality and literally taken to the cleaners.

[@StewartMiddleton]

The appalling line of questioning by the croynist tory party shows they never cared about the NHS and the waiting list.

[@steve26553]

I don't see a problem here. Alan Milburn is a former Labour minister with vast knowledge of the NHS. Why wouldn't the current administration value any input from him especially if it turns out to be positive?

[@mbrierley144brierley3]

That's why.

[@damianleah6744]

He did not say that, he said Milburn turned the Tories down.

[@kurremkarmerruk8718]

Because he lobbies for private healthcare firms. He represents a big American one (can't remember the name) and people are worried he will push for more PFI contracts. Streeting is a dubious one: clearly very capable, but some suspect he's in place to privatise the NHS on the sly.

[@BeepBoop2221]

Because Alan has money in private healthcare and is a blairite.

[@Grandude77]

You don't see the problem because you are blinded by footballification. Red team good.

This reeks of cronyism. I'd condemn this whichever party was engaging in it. If Milburn is an adviser, then he should do so officially and declare interests. Parliament is in need of wholesale reform. One corruption doesn’t justify a lesser one.

[@Rebeccaannjarvis]

[@garryferrington811]

It's about time somebody in Labour went on the offensive.

[@jak1590]

It's only OK if the Tories are doing it. Labour have to be squeaky clean or will be called out by all the rightist commentators and media no matter how trivial the infringement. Never forget what the Tories have deliberately done to our country. Does it matter if the people Labour are choosing can make a positive contribution.

[@Grandude77]

The 2nd part is OK but in the 1st half you imply it's OK now because labour are doing it

[@mbrierley144brierley3]

Just because the Tories are guilty of chronic cronyism does not mean that the Labour Government has to indulge in it. Why can't they rise above the gutter and have some integrity?

[@grateberk6435]

The Labour government is not engaging in chronic cronyism. Where is your proof? or are you relying om the Telegraph?

[@captainwin6333]

@@grateberk6435 Reeves appointed someone who donated to the party. There have been others and Streeting invited Alan Milburn into official meetings on the NHS and let him see official documents. Pure new labour cronyism, open your eyes.

Excellent 👌

[@kurremkarmerruk8718]

You're right, people don't seem to notice these things till it's too late. I remember my first seminar of my first year doing law in uni: the prof. confidently asserted that some democratic rules were inviolable, like the executive, judiciary and legislative being separate. I pointed out that Blair appointed Lord Goldsmith to all three, him being a lord, a judge and chancellor on the privy council. He didn't want to hear it at first and tried to explain why he wasn't, but then conceded. These risky appointments are always to achieve something dodgy, like invading another country or privatising the NHS on the sly, and they never end well. Don't be naiive just because Labour aren't the Tories.

[@mandycouchbean]

Stop the Yacht!!

[@kindmulberry7196]

Stop the Tories

[@petelloyd9568]

Milburn is essentially a private healthcare lobbyist, has financial interests in private healthcare and conitnues to advocate for a return to disasterous PFI schemes. There's a clear conflict of interest and giving him access to confidential documents was a clear snd significant breach. The fact that Streeting can point to the Tories' dire history and go "ner, ner, ner, ner ner" doesn't excuse this. One would have hoped that a government promising change might be able to rise above the pathetically childish and cronyistic behaviour we've become used to, but there's little evidence they represent anything more than a slightly less noxious flavour of the same old shit.

[@anthonycarroll6434]

And you know Milburn was privy to sensitive documents because?

[@petelloyd9568]

​@anthonycarroll6434 The Times reported, based on sources within the Department of Health, that he was given access to sensitive documents in printed form. Streeting has stated he did not have access to "commercially sensitive" documents not the same as stating he did not have access to any sensitive information.

[@GaryParker-t7m]

This government has the opportunity to bring integrity, honesty and loyalty to this country and it's population. It can only be hoped that they grasp this opportunity, implement it and defend it.

Another fantastic opportunity for the Labour Party to get at the Tory party for their corruption during their tenure. Why was this not taken? We the public voted for labour in the belief that they would do what they promised, get back our taxpayers money squandered and wasted by the last government. Yet they are not only not doing that but they are letting the Tories call them corrupt!!!

The Labour party produced a report 7 years ago that showed that 4000 pensioners would die that winter if the heating allowance was taken away when the Tories suggested it. What has changed to make that not true now that energy prices have rocketed too? I did not vote Labour for this shite. I voted for a proper leftist MP, otherwise they would not have got my vote at all. She had better vote against it or she will lose my support too.
