Summary
Wes Streeting is pushing Labour toward bold economic moves: slashing employer national insurance to boost hiring, especially for young people, and ramping up North Sea oil and gas production. His proposals come amid rising youth unemployment and a shrinking hospitality sector, but not everyone agrees — Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden argues businesses already get breaks for young workers and warns any tax cut must be balanced. McFadden also credits current NI rates for NHS improvements. Meanwhile, Streeting’s leadership ambitions are growing louder, even as Andy Burnham eyes a return to Parliament to challenge for the top job.
