LABOUR’S Wes Streeting has declared war on his own party’s supporters, campaigners charged today after the shadow health secretary said he would force the NHS to rely on the private sector. 

Writing in the Sun, Mr Streeting vowed to rely on “spare capacity in the private sector to cut the waiting lists” — echoing current Tory policy.

In a bid to sow division among NHS users, he said “working families” are stuck in a two-tier system while those who complain about private services in the NHS are just “middle-class lefties.”
