Supporters of Jeremy Corbyn should 'dry their eyes' and accept his leadership was a 'shipwreck', according to Wes Streeting, who has defended Labour's 'tight' spending plans.
But Mr Streeting said"shoot me now" when it was put to him that Labour's focus on reform over funding sounded similar to what's on offer from the Conservatives.Advertisement
"Steve Barclay's talking as if he's just walked in off the street taken over the Department of Health and decided he's got a reform agenda. They've been in power for 13 years. Where is it?" Mr Streeting went on to admit that it's"tough for shadow cabinet members like me who have to follow these tight fiscal rules", amid criticism from some within the party that Labour's spending plans are not ambitious enough.and shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves"when they're making those tough calls".
He told Beth Rigby:"One of the reasons why we have lost not just the last two general elections, but the last four general elections, was because people said, can we trust you with the money? "What you are seeing from Keir and Rachel, and the rest of our team, is that we are going to be careful with the public finances because Liz Truss and the Conservative Party shows exactly what happens when you go on a spending spree without any idea about how you'll pay for your promises."
