Wes Streeting, Labour’s shadow health secretary, urged voters not to 'give the matches back to the arsonist to finish the job', suggesting that a Tory victory would be a 'nightmare on Downing Street.' Streeting cautioned against increasing NHS spending more than what is outlined in Labour's manifesto due to economic constraints.

He criticized the Conservatives for creating the highest tax burden in 70 years and stressed Labour's commitment to avoid unaffordable promises.

Streeting’s warning comes as Labour maintains a 17-point lead over the Tories with the general election approaching on 4 July, as per an Opinium poll for the Observer.

He also expressed his frustration over the unresolved pay dispute involving junior doctors and emphasized Labour's balanced approach to economic management.
