‘The same failed orthodoxy!’ Laila Cunningham gives snap reaction to Wes Streeting’s Labour leadership bid

Laila Cunningham has blasted Wes Streeting’s leadership announcement speech as "the same failed orthodoxy".

Reform UK’s London Mayoral candidate shared her thoughts on the former Health Secretary’s address, where he confirmed he would stand to replace Sir Keir Starmer.

“You can't change the salesman and keep the same product. I don't think it will make any difference. It's the same failed orthodoxy,” Ms Cunningham said.

“Mass migration, high taxes, high welfare, expensive energy, excessively regulated government that controls everything in our lives.

“People don't want that. People don't want to be smeared, either,” she said.

Climate Party leader Ed Gemmell weighed in, describing Mr Streeting’s announcement as “stale, negative” and “not getting me inspired whatsoever”.
