2 w. ago The Labour right wants Wes Streeting in No 10. Why? What does he really stand for? | Oliver Eagleton

The way the health secretary has overseen the NHS give clues as to what a Streeting premiership might look likeOliver Eagleton is the author of The Starmer Project: A Journey to the RightJust over a year after Keir Starmer entered Downing Street, his political survival already looks uncertain. Perennially indecisive, unpopular with the public and unable to pass major legislation without rebellions, the prime minister has reportedly been put “on notice” by senior figures within his party.

While attitudes to these procedures and aesthetics vary, many people – including some cosmetic surgeons – are concerned that younger women account for a growing share of a highly lucrative and growing market.The death last year of 33-year-old Alice Webb in Gloucestershire, after a non-surgical Brazilian butt lift, as well as multiple reports of injuries, and the deaths of at least 28 women who have travelled to Turkey for cosmetic treatments, have increased the pressure on ministers to tighten the law.
