Who are the guests on Laura Kuenssberg Sunday show today? Wes Streeting, Laura Trott and more to be grilled on BBC's flagship political show
The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Wes Streeting, will be grilled by Kuenssberg. He's likely to be asked about the government's recent decision to scrap NHS England, the advisory body that oversees the NHS, as well as the coming welfare cuts. Streeting recently declared that scrapping NHS England is “the beginning, not the end” and has vowed to continue “slashing bloated bureaucracy”.
Laura asks Streeting: as a Labour politician, did you get into politics to take money from the poorest? He says we don't want to take money from the poorest people in Britain, and adds he's a product of the welfare system.
