News🇬🇧⚡️: Streeting MUST RESIGN - Newly appointed Defence Minister Wes Streeting jokes about freeing every pedohile, rapists, illegal and terrorist in UK prisons with Home Secretary Mahmood and fellow Burnham Ministers. New Justice Secretary Alex Norris can be seen walking towards Streeting and Shabana Mahmood just before the disgusting sick joke spouted by Streeting which will have every victim of crime in the UK and their families in the highest levels of repulsion and distress. The new defence secretary, Streeting, can then be heard calling Norris "the enemy now" while the Mahmood responds "no he's not". Streeting goes on to say "he wants to let them all out" - appearing to reference the government's plans for early release for prisoners. The comments have been criticised by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch for making light of the scheme, which her party opposes. "While Andy Burnham's cabinet are joking about letting criminals out of prison early, Conservatives are listening to victims and will continue to fight this disgusting policy," the Conservative leader wrote on X. Disgraced Peter Mandelson's protégé Streeting is supposed to be the man to keep Britain safe from harm as Defence Minister. All he is capable of is laughing at the victims of the most sickening crimes committed against the most vulnerable in the UK. Wes Streeting you should resign immediately and apologise for this horrific sick joke and senseless of injustice.
