  • Total voters

I know a few of them have either been booted out for being racist homophobes, some have quit when they’ve found out that the job involves work that they have no idea how to go about doing, but this a new one <laugh>

As of May 2026, UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting has faced scrutiny regarding over £300,000 in donations linked to private healthcare interests received since 2015, with reports indicating roughly 60% of his donations came from such sources. Critics, including EveryDoctor and the Good Law Project, have highlighted these funds, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest. [1, 2, 3]
Key Details on Donations
  • Total Amount: Reports suggest over £300,000 to £372,000 in donations from individuals or companies linked to private health since 2015.
  • Key Donors: Significant donations have come from Peter Hearn (involved in healthcare recruitment), John Armitage (investor in US health insurer United Health), and Trevor Chinn (adviser to a firm investing in private health).
  • Ongoing Funding: Reports indicate that even after becoming Health Secretary in July 2024, donations linked to private health interests continued, with over £58,000 in office support reported between July 2024 and April 2025.
  • Purpose: These donations were largely registered as funding for staffing in his constituency office, not direct personal income. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Response to Concerns
  • A spokesperson for Wes Streeting previously stated that he has not taken donations from private healthcare companies or the people who run them while in office, focusing instead on NHS reform.

Political donations are getting out of hand, I think since becoming Reform leader Farage has received several millions, at a minimum it appears to be around £7.5m.

How many Labour MPs?

Do we even need to mention the Tory party?

They are all at it and that's the problem with British politics, they don't care about the people, they only care about themselves.

I only found out about Streeting because someone mentioned it, so I looked it up. That's why the demise of country means **** all to them, they are merely in it to line their own pockets.

The EU is just corrupt, but no one ever takes note of it, both Von der Leyer and Donald Tusk or their allies have been accused of corruption at some point, but we will not mention it if it's someone we like.

I've already said Farage should be suspended from Parliament, and I apply that rule to everyone who wishes to carry on this path.

The easiest way of keeping tabs on cash gifts from overseas is to make them taxable, that way you have to declare them. If a Billionaire can afford to give away £5M he can afford to pay the tax on it on behalf of the receiver. Ie additional sum on top.

Didn't realise that Burnham actually lives right by Makersfield (where he wants to run.) Been living there for over 20 years.

The narrative of him being "parachuted in" is kind of bollocks if that's the case, he's basically local especially by the standards of British politics.

Burnham will piss the by-election. If the country have a chance of putting somebody up to put Starmer out, they’ll take it. There’s never been a PM who is disliked by the whole of the UK as much as this little weasel.

GB News and Sky are rallying the troops to try and ruin his chances but I don't think it'll work.

He'll be a good PM tbh.

I think he’ll be a terrible PM. He has never held a job outside of politics, he has no business acumen. We seen during Covid when he thought he could reject the government offer and hold out for more money, eventually he walked away with less than what he had been previously offered. He’s as weak as piss and people will trample all over him.

For Sucky…

Right Wing Man’s going to London today.

Big march.

Big day.

Big patriotic link-up.

He’s been posting about it all week like he’s preparing for the liberation of Europe.

“Take our country back.”
“Defend British culture.”
“Save our streets.”

All from a bloke who got nervous ordering a coffee in Brixton last summer.

But today’s different.

Today he’s joining the resistance.

Got his St George’s flag folded up carefully.
Phone fully charged.
Already rehearsed the Facebook status for the train home.

“London has fallen.”

Apparently Tommy’s gonna be there.
Or Stephen.
Or whatever name he’s using this season.

Doesn’t matter.

Right Wing Man talks about him like he’s Churchill mixed with Batman.

Protector of the realm.

Defender of Greggs.

The thing is, London already is British culture.

That’s the bit he can't process.

London IS modern Britain.

Messy.
Loud.
Mixed.
Complicated.

But Right Wing Man wanted Britain frozen somewhere around 1987.

When pubs smelt of cigarettes,
everyone watched the same TV channels,
and nobody under 40 had heard the word “podcast.”

So today he heads into one of the most diverse cities on earth to protest diversity.

Which is a bit like flying to Benidorm to complain about foreigners.

He says he’s defending the country.

But half the time he just means:
“I don’t recognise things anymore.”

And to be fair —
the world HAS changed.

Wages collapsed.
Communities disappeared.
Housing became impossible.
Everyone got lonelier.
Everything got more expensive.

But somewhere along the line all that anger got redirected.

Away from landlords.
Away from corporations.
Away from politicians and billionaires.

And pointed instead at Deliveroo drivers and women wearing hijabs.

That’s the trick.

Turn decline into invasion.

Turn confusion into identity.

Turn “nothing works anymore” into “they’re taking over.”

By this afternoon he’ll be stood in London shouting about freedom while police helicopters circle overhead and someone nearby livestreams the whole thing for TikTok.

Revolution.

2026 edition.

And when it’s all said and done, he’ll get the train home exhausted, skint, sunburnt, and absolutely convinced he saved Britain.

Without fixing a single thing.

He's also a remainer, so **** him. <whistle>

Joking aside. To be fair I did read an old article that said he would support the leave outcome, but then as time went on he said he would rejoin, so I'm not sure where he is at.

So I'm on the fence with him at the mo.

Genuinely not really sure if I want change or not, because I just wonder what it's actually going to achieve, change destroyed the Tories, Burnham is going to have his work cut out to prove he's better than all the rest (not that difficult) that we've seen over the last decade...well he'll be better than Truss, that don't take much beating.

And @Welshie is chatting **** btw, SKY haven't stopped going on about Burnham, Welshie couldn't even get the name right for the guy that stood down for him, and tried to allude he only stepped down because, well because he's a thick ****. :bandit:

**** off @Welshie
