Wes Streeting would have been 12 in 1995 and more likely to have been watching Grange Hill than News at Ten. Otherwise he’d have heard more or less the same speech he made to this week’s Labour conference.
It came from the venerable left-winger Tony Benn, who regaled parliament from the back benches with an apparently true anecdote about a health service memo that had been doing the rounds of the chattering classes. It concerned a fictitious boat race between the NHS and a more efficient Japanese crew which the British team lost by having eight people steering and one rowing, instead of the other way around.
He should have kept it on; people might have thought he was Ben Elton. Keir Starmer’s promise to “bulldoze” planning regulations was a model of ambiguity – demonising nimbys who seek to protect their neighbourhoods while accepting they have a point about the need to preserve important green spaces. The problem, Starmer claimed, was that the green belt was being misapplied to “disused car parks and dreary wasteland”, locations which Labour would target for huge new developments.
