    Former health secretary Wes Streeting has backed banning under-16s from social media in the UK, accusing regulators and politicians of being “asleep at the wheel” on the issue.

    Wes Streeting? Is that the same Wes Streeting who defended Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein?

    The Health Secretary who was received over £350,000 in donations from private healthcare companies?

    Who was texting with Mandelson about visiting the US to meet industry figures in the healthcare sector?

    The one selling out the NHS to Palantir and the US? That Wes Streeting.

    Everyone knows not to trust a word out of his mouth now, surely.

    The prime minister vowed on Tuesday to take “decisive” action to tackle the impact of social media on children.

    “I’m absolutely clear that this needs to be something where there’s a game changer, so we will be acting,” Starmer told reporters.

    “The question is only what we do, and that will be coming very quickly because we took powers earlier this year to make sure we can act very, very quickly.”

    Oh right.
