In his resignation speech to the House of Commons UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting told the House on May 20, 2026. He calls for bold action based on a bold vision not simply treading water. 

"I left the government because we are in the fight of our lives against nationalism, and it is a fight that we are currently losing."

"Unless we change course, we risk handing the keys of No 10 to Reform, and I do not want that on our consciences."

"For the first time in our history, nationalists are in power in every corner of the United Kingdom."

"Scottish and Welsh nationalism represents an existential threat to the future integrity of the United Kingdom."

"And Reform UK represent a threat to the values and ideals that have made this country great."

“Never waste a minute – that’s been my mantra in government, and it’s why I don’t believe our party has time to waste in government treading water,” Streeting told MPs. “The Labour party was elected to deliver real change. We still can.”
