As well as making noises about wealth taxes that sound suspiciously similar to the kind of thing Andy Burnham would normally say, Wes Streeting has also been opining this week about the lack of radical action from the government he’s just resigned from.

Streeting told Nick Robinson that while the government had done ‘some important things’ on health and social care, it had fallen ‘well short of my ambition’, particularly on social care.
