Was this Wes Streeting’s longest political metaphor yet?

The blog post was written in the early hours of the morning on July 5, 2024.

Check out the video where Wes Streeting, the shadow health secretary, stumbled over his words while discussing how Keir Starmer has improved the Labour Party, describing it as being in top form.

The mistake occurred shortly after the exit poll for the general election indicated that Labour was likely to win a large majority in the House of Commons.

In an interview with the BBC, he explained that Keir Starmer had salvaged the ship from a wreck in 2019 and ensured it was in good condition and ready for sailing by fixing the sails.
