Meet the future Labour leaders: Wes Streeting and Joe Dancey

Wes Streeting: The Blairite with a working-class twist

Wes Streeting, the Shadow Health Secretary, is a unique figure in the world of politics. Unlike many MPs, Wes grew up on a council estate in London's East End to a single mum who struggled to make ends meet. His family history is equally intriguing, with a granddad who was a World War II veteran and bank robber, and a nan who shared a prison cell with a famous model. Despite his humble beginnings, Wes is a proud patriot and a passionate campaigner for healthcare reform.

Joe Dancey: The man behind the scenes

Joe Dancey, partner to Wes Streeting, is no stranger to the world of politics. With a background in organizing the London 2012 Olympics and serving as an executive assistant to Lord Sebastian Coe, Joe brings a wealth of experience to the table. In the 2024 General Election, he stood as an MP for Stockton West, showcasing his dedication to public service and common concerns of the people.
