The News Agents
Wes Streeting on why Keir Starmer cannot save himself or his country

But do you think that's true?

The News Agents
Wes Streeting on why Keir Starmer cannot save himself or his country

Is there any truth?

The News Agents
Wes Streeting on why Keir Starmer cannot save himself or his country

I don't fundamentally believe that's true.

The News Agents
Wes Streeting on why Keir Starmer cannot save himself or his country

No, I don't, Lewis.

The News Agents
Wes Streeting on why Keir Starmer cannot save himself or his country

Honestly, we've got to make sure, though.

The News Agents

And this is where I think Shabana Mahmood is absolutely spot on and absolutely the Home Secretary for this time and the challenges we face.

The News Agents

She is totally clear.

The News Agents
Wes Streeting on why Keir Starmer cannot save himself or his country

One law, one English common law that applies equally and fairly to everyone consistently.

The News Agents

And that's not to say that white people can never experience racism, because we've seen it and we see it online too.

The News Agents

And it's not to say that white people can't be at the sharpest end of some of the worst inequalities and injustice.

The News Agents
