Summary
Wes Streeting, a potential Labour leadership candidate, delivered a speech on "progressive capitalism" where he implicitly criticized Andy Burnham by warning against "expensive and popular pledges." Streeting stated he would not offer such pledges, in what appears to be a thinly-veiled dig at the Greater Manchester mayor who is expected to win an upcoming byelection. The speech outlines Streeting's platform as he positions himself for a potential Labour leadership contest.
