LONDON — So, the Wes Streeting show. Our favorite former health secretary – yes, the same guy who wanted to rename hospitals after AOC – has decided to launch a shadow campaign against Keir Starmer. Turns out, even he realizes that Captain Hindsight is steering the Labour Party straight into the iceberg of irrelevance.

Streeting, bless his heart, actually called out Starmer for risking a “Joe Biden situation.” Translation: being so woke and out of touch that Nigel Farage ends up moving into Number 10. Talk about a red pill moment.

Of course, there’s no official leadership contest yet. Starmer's still clinging to power like a barnacle on a sinking ship, and Andy Burnham is off playing local hero in some byelection. But Streeting's betting that Starmer's days are numbered. Honestly, so is everyone else.

In his little chat with The Guardian (of course), Streeting trotted out his policy proposals. He wants to move 175,000 kids out of temporary housing – because apparently, virtue signaling by building council flats gets you votes now. He also wants to “look again” at plans for refugees. Maybe he finally realized that open borders aren't exactly a winning strategy with the working class.

Starmer's been politically neutered ever since Labour’s recent electoral drubbing. Streeting's resignation and Burnham's potential new gig have just piled on the misery. Whether Streeting can actually get the 81 MPs he needs to trigger a contest is anyone’s guess. But at least he's making things interesting.

Streeting claims he held back his challenge to avoid screwing over Burnham. Yeah, right. It’s all about optics, baby. He wants to look like the nice guy who didn’t stab his mate in the back. Meanwhile, he's sharpening his knives for Starmer.

Streeting claims Starmer's lost the support of everyone. Probably true. He even pulled the old “Biden” card again, warning that sticking with the current course will hand the keys to Downing Street to Nigel Farage. Maybe Streeting's finally realizing that the only thing worse than a Tory government is a Farage government.

And here’s the best part: Streeting insists he can win over the Labour membership, even though he's seen as being on the right of the party. Translation: he's hoping the Corbynistas have finally crawled back into their holes and the sane members are ready for a dose of reality.
