This is gb news across the uk on tv, in your car on Digital Radio and on your Smart Speaker by saying play gb news now its back to martin and. Pip back to martin and. Pip thank you, tatiana. Now with the uk facing a plethora of cnses the uk facing a plethora of crises and a general election on the horizon , labour frontbencher the horizon, labour frontbencher wes streeting has been speaking exclusively to gb news about his partys plans for the future. The Shadow Health secretary joined our Political Editor, Christopher Hope , for an Christopher Hope, for an interview on issues ranging from the Junior Doctor strikes to brexit. Heres what he had to say. Say. Roy wes streeting how would labour end . The Junior Doctor strikes. The most important thing that the government, the Prime Minister should be doing now is to get the doctors and the consultants around the table and negotiate a way through. I think its outrageous actually, that given this strike action, which is unprecedented and in itself has inflicted untold misery on patients who are waiting longer cancelled , are waiting longer cancelled, delayed appointments, operations , procedures, waiting in pain , procedures, waiting in pain, probably dying as well. Probably people are dying while they cant get treated. Mean, labours no doubt. I mean, labours own research this has shown own research on this has shown that there are people literally dying waiting lists , yet dying on nhs waiting lists, yet the Prime Minister hasnt met the Prime Minister hasnt met the doctors at all and the Health Secretary hasnt sat down to negotiate since march earlier this year. So no, given alongside the cost of living, this is the biggest crisis in the country right now. I dont understand why the Prime Minister isnt giving this his full attention, and ive come to the conclusion basically the conclusion hes basically saying, this pledge saying, well, i made this pledge to waiting list. I know to cut waiting list. I know i havent got a chance of delivering it now, but at least i the doctors with i can blame the doctors with these strikes. Off these ongoing strikes. Im off these ongoing strikes. Im off the hook. Hes relying on the pay the hook. Hes relying on the pay bodies, offering 6. Pay review bodies, offering 6. Doctors want 35. What the doctors want 35. What would have to compromise would labour have to compromise somewhere . Would labour have to compromise somewiive . Would labour have to compromise somewiive said ive said to 20. Ive said ive said to the doctors, look, 35 overnight is not a policy that labour would be able to afford. Its not made popular with not made me popular with everyone, but id rather be honest. This an election honest. This side of an election than other than break promises the other side of the election. If we win. Look at the record of. And i look at the record of the last Labour Government, we didnt have national in didnt have national strikes in the because we the nhs and thats because we treated the staff with respect and we got them on the path to full restoration. In fact, full pay restoration. In fact, before for the general before for the 97 general election, labour was under enormous make the enormous pressure to make the sort are sort of commitments people are asking make now. They were asking me to make now. They were rightly reluctant to make promises unless they knew they could keep them , and yet that could keep them, and yet that Labour Government did deliver full pay restoration. How did they that . They got the they do that . They got the economy growing so they could invest Public Services , invest in Public Services, invest in Public Services, invest in Public Services, invest in our people, in Public Services without hiking up taxes in the way the conservatives in the fifth of a Labour Government. Then you might get back to this pay they want. Now this 35 pay rise they want. Now i aboutin this 35 pay rise they want. Now i about in one term, i dont know about in one term, but willing to sit down but id be willing to sit down and negotiate with the doctors but id be willing to sit down an say, gotiate with the doctors but id be willing to sit down an say, look,a with the doctors but id be willing to sit down an say, look,a recogniseioctors but id be willing to sit down an say, look,a recognise the rs to say, look, i recognise the pressure under. Pressure youre under. We do to help you what can we do to help you with cost of living . Also, with the cost of living . Also, there are a range of issues there are a wide range of issues that raising that arent that theyre raising that arent related but about related to pay but are about their everyday working conditions and i think are directly retention directly linked to retention because needing to because as well as needing to recruit more staff and labours plans involve biggest plans involve the biggest expansion in expansion of nhs staff in history. Weve got to keep the history. Weve got to keep the people weve got and i see people weve got and i see people walking the nhs in people walking out of the nhs in droves i think alongside the droves and i think alongside the retention, recruitment problem, retention, recruitment problem, retention is the other big challenge. And so if we dont challenge. And so if we dont get this right, the risk isnt just that these doctors walk out for for action a few for more strike for action a few more days, they walk out of the nhs altogether and cant nhs altogether and we cant afford to lose the doctors, the nurses, the other nhs staff that we need to get patients seen on time. Just quickly, quickly, on the pms net zero announcements, this week, will labour reverse his plans to delay the ban on petrol and new petrol car and diesel cars by 2035 . Yeah, we will because we think that i mean like i mean look at the industry voices that have come out in recent days. What the Prime Minister has doneis what the Prime Minister has done is really short sighted. It has actually created more instability and uncertainty for businesses who are looking to invest in britain. Invest in britain. And i think weve got to be clear about what this ban is. Its not a ban on existing cars. So no one with a petrol or diesel car should think, oh my god, im going to have to replace it, you know, in a few years time. Its about new cars coming up for sale. And the coming up for sale. And the reason why the policy that the government had until literally this week was important is because weve got to build the Energy Infrastructure this country needs. The charging infrastructure and on top of the renewable and new nuclear power, we need to give britain its Energy Security back to create new jobs, new industries , new jobs, new industries, particularly in parts of the country like teesside , the country like teesside, the north east of scotland, wales, where weve seen massive deindustrialisation , the west deindustrialisation, the West Midlands , if we get our energy midlands, if we get our Energy Policy right, our Economic Policy right, our Economic Policy right, our Economic Policy right, our industrial policy right, our industrial policy right, our industrial policy right and bring them all together, we can deliver lower bills, more Energy Security costs on working families. Thats the point, isnt it . Thats the point, isnt it . Well, under labours plans working families would be paying less. So, for example, labours plans insulate 19 million plans to insulate 19 million homes would save families hundreds of pounds a year. If we get the industrial strategy right, there will be new well paid jobs in industries that will enable us to bring bills down, because at the moment the short sightedness weve had as a country for far too long means that were relying on the whims of the International Energy markets. We want to give britain our Energy Security back so we have our own energy being produced here, and were not reliant on foreign dictators energy dictators or volatile Energy Markets. We are in this bizarre markets. We are in this bizarre situation where we are subsidising the taxpayers of other countries who have big stakes in our energy industry. Stakes in our energy industry. Why not have Great British energy owning our own energy , energy owning our own energy, reinvesting the profits for the sake of our own people . So for laboun sake of our own people . So for labour, we think that the pursuit, the path to net zero and the path to our own Energy Security can be one that actually saves families money, not costs us more. And the risk for the P
