Fellow yank, but it's basically a low level politician desperate to save his career in politics after he got burned for riding on the coattails of somebody who has been more or less proven to be deeply corrupted. But the recommended link appears to show he knew of the guys corruption, so he's pretty much screwed.

That's my take at least, so if anybody knows more feel free to correct me!

I'm going to assume you know about Yogi Bear.

Wes Streeting is the current health secretary and belongs politically to the Labour right (and is a massive twat). Peter Mandelson was an influential politician in Balir's New Labour and kind of just never left, playing a part in McSweeney and co's purging of the left from the party after Corbyn resigned and Starmer got elected. As part of this, they stuffed the higher levels of the party with loyalists to Starmer and gave Mandelson the ambassadorial role to America, despite his established connections to Epstein (Jim Pickard at the FT has been loud about this for years). Mandelson is now in trouble because the recent batch of Epstein files have revealed he'd been selling state secrets to Epstein and everyone close to Mandelson is also getting swept up in it, Streeting included.

This piece is him trying to wash his hands of this, because he's suppose to be the favourite to succeed Starmer for No 10.

I think the others are under selling how much of a self serving cunt little Wesley is.

While head of the student union as a student, sold out his members by supporting far higher student loans and fees. This has saddled multiple generations of kids with tens of thousands in unpayable and undischargable loans.

While as Heath Sectary rolled back care for trans kids, which has resulted in higher suicides for said kids. He was told this would happen before he rolled back the care.

The man would blend babies if he thought it would result in his own enrichment.
