Streeting tries to distance himself from Mandelson

Desperate Streeting tries to distance himself from Mandelson

Sentient forehead and Labour big man Wes Streeting has come out swinging for Mandelson. Specifically, he’s told the BBC that the key issue is people failed to believe Epstein’s victims.

Streeting says Epsteins victims werent believed

The govt appointed Mandelson knowing he'd stayed at Epsteins house after Epsteins conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor. Its clear Wes & this govt didnt care about Epsteins victims until politically expedient to do so pic.twitter.com/97nvhcPFlp

The problem is that the people who didn’t believe the victims includes the government Streeting is a part of. After all, why would they have promoted Mandelson otherwise, when they knew about his connections to Epstein?

Streeting — the allegations

Don’t get me wrong, it’s wonderful that Streeting has managed to pull himself away from privatising our NHS to stand up for the victims, but all is not as it seems.

Streeting’s Twitter/X history shows that he was silent on Epstein until this morning. This was despite years of actual women coming forward, and the known links between Mandelson and Epstein.

Additionally, it seems Streeting has only mentioned Mandelson himself a few times at first glance. But that doesn’t factor in the tweets he’s recently deleted:

🚨NEW: Health Secretary Wes Streeting has today deleted a post in which he referred to Peter Mandelson as his mother's "new mate"

And why did Wes Streeting delete these tweets?

It appears Streeting is trying to keep his relationship with Mandelson quiet. When Streeting was running for office, it appears Mandelson joined him on his campaign trail. Not only that, but he joined the “Sunday Supper Club”, which was an exclusive group Mandelson frequently attended.

‘Protect women’ is political posturing

With no previous mentions of Epstein, this seems to be political posturing. And at a time when Starmer’s position is weakened as prime minister, this is obviously a transparent attempt to undermine him in preparation for a future leadership challenge.

This Odious excuse for a Human Being should be removed from Political Power along with every other Liar in this the worst Government Ever.To reach this Milestone this group of Charlatans had to outperform three plus a lackey of the worst leaders and Party MP’ in British Political History. The three and Lackey I write of are The Thatcher Generation and the Blairite New Labour, and Cameron Clegg and Austerity Osborne one Tory and one a Bastardised Political Party and one Coalition Tory/ Liberal,Even to be mentioned on a level with these three is a disgrace to be Worse than them is plumbing the Depths of Depravity. Starmer and all connected with the Party they represent this Party as any level headed person will testify has absolutely nothing in common with A Labour Party. The Status Quo of any Elected Political Party having Carte Blanche for a full 5 Years should be Abolished. I have watched in horror as English Votes have consistently run roughshod over the Minority Votes of the other Three United Kingdom Nations who’s Total combined Votes are less than London never Mind the rest of England. How can this Rigged Electoral Process be Right it can’t and it isn’t. It’s time to go it alone I for one am Sick of listening to English Establishment Bores and Mealy Mouth Newscasters and Politicians and Lords Bleating about having to pour money into Scotland, And how much more per capita the Scots population gets compared to the English, Fake News Propaganda Absolute Bolox call it what you will, It Really is Time we say Ta Ra Mate we will always be there for you and have your back but you choose your own Government and we will choose ours.

Wes Streeting is a Loathsome Creature, This Big Pharma/ and Health Insurance Pawn is a Rogue among Rogues This Criminal Will given the opportunity SELL THE English NHS to American Businesses, This will Really settle His Future very nicely, Here is a quote this Health Secretary made last year in an interview, The following is not Verbatim but it is close enough, Streeting made a point of mentioning how he was brought up in Poverty several times in fact at every opportunity, He stated to the interviewer my life was really tough as I grew up I thought of only one thing getting out of Poverty, And I can tell you I worked hard to make sure I did, And I can tell You This much I never really felt safe and free from Poverty until I Became an MP? Really!!!!, I believe My Upbringing and view of Poverty is not to different from his apart from the numbers of Siblings and Political outlook, throughout my working life I became a Shop Steward in three different Industries and was firstly Proud of My Class and Never Ashamed of what I had been or became, there was Six Girls and four boys plus Ma and Da so twelve of us in all in a three bed tenement flat, I was raised hard but fair I was also raised a Socialist Labour Man, I can tell Streeting this it is Political Leaders Cabinet Minister’s and MP’ like Him who are the Root Cause of Poverty, This insidious snake is neither Socialist or Labour He is a I will be alright Jack Fuck You get Rich Quick before You’re found out Bastard, Do not let this Criminal Sell Your English NHS I am Scottish he cannot touch our NHS unless the Scots Elect a Farage or Scottish New Labour Government, As I have stated I am A Scot but I care about All Britons We have a bond but We Must Go our Separate Ways Saor Alba. As for electing a Farage or SNL Government we are not that Stupid.
