Last year in October, Wes Streeting declared a £50k “donation” from Francesca Perrin. Perrin is a current director of Labour Together, A lobby group of Morgan McSweeney fame.
Following on from the donation from Francesca Perrin and her husband William, a former secretary to former Prime Minister Tony Blair of the UK, both funded Labour Together, giving a combined £360k. Despite failing to declare £739k in donations to Labour Together, McSweeney remains at the top of government.
Moving to 2007 when Wes Streeting worked for Progress, a “New Labour pressure group” set up in 1996 to support Tony Blair’s in power. Progress was funded by David Sainsbury, Francesca Perrin’s father + another major backer of McSweeney’s Labour Together.
Lord David Sainsbury's grandfather founded the grocery store chain in 1869; David Sainsbury (Lord Sainsbury of Turville) served as the company's chairman from 1992 until 1998.
One of the founders of Progress was Derek Draper, a former aide to Epstein-associate Peter Mandelson plus secretary to Nick Brown. In 2022, Keir Starmer suspended Nick Brown from the Labour Party for “historical allegations”. Starmer promised the general public an inquiry or some sort of an answer, but no further details have ever been released. Starmer has resigned since.
1998, Derek Draper was recorded, alongside pro-Israeli lobbyist Jonathan Mendelsohn, saying that he could sell clients access to government ministers and “create” tax breaks. In 2024, Mendelsohn’s Red Capital firm funded.
Another funder of Streeting is David Menton, a close associate of Israeli arms beneficiary Chaim “Poju” Zabludowicz. Menton is a funder and director of BICOM, a pro-Israeli lobby group “reinvigorated” by former Labour MP for Rochdale Lorna Fitzsimons.
Finnish-born Poju Zabludowicz was BICOM’s top donor, described in 2009 as “Britain’s most active pro-Israeli lobbying organisation”: “Foreign reporters are bombarded with press releases and invitations to interview senior Israeli ministers and advisors at top London restaurants.”
When the Labour leader, then Sir Keir Starmer, picked Wes Streeting as a shadow cabinet minister, Streeting was Starmer’s first shadow cabinet minister to accept a “Labour Friends of Israel”-funded trip, in 2022.
Labour For Israel also paid for a trip for Sarah Harrison, one of Streeting’s staffers.
Fast forward to current day and the scandals don't stop; And Wes is part of them
Another ex-Streeting aide, Sam Gould, was convicted in April last year of exposing himself to a teenage girl and then following her.
Streeting has been eager to defend Peter Mandelson. In September 2025, he said that Mandelson should not be considered “guilty by association” for his close ties to prolific paedophile and likely Israeli intelligence asset Jeffrey Epstein.
Wes said that it was “very clear that Lord Mandelson deeply regrets ever having been introduced” to Epstein. This is a very strange interpretation, especially in light of leaked communications between the pair.
When Epstein faced charges of soliciting sex from minors in 2008, Mandelson encouraged him to “fight for early release”.
On September 9th last year, Streeting said Mandelson should stay in his post as US ambassador. Two days later, he was fired by Keir Starmer.
As revealed by mainstream media, further emails were leaked. The Mandelson and Epstein were still in touch in 2016. When Epstein sent him a birthday message, Mandelson responded within 30 minutes: “I have decided to extend my life by spending more of it in the US.”
Peter Mandelson, who helped Wes Streeting campaigned to help him in two GE, describing him a “legend”, personally campaigned for Streeting in both his 2015 and 2019 election campaigns. In 2024 GE Streeting’s vote collapsed. He now holds his seat by just 528 votes.
We move even further towards current time. A prolific pro-Israeli lobbyist Trevor Chinn was a director, key funder, and central figure behind Morgan McSweeney’s Labour Together operation.
Chinn has also personally funded Wes Streeting, himself a long-time supporter of “Labour Friends of Israel”.
In 2015, Streeting endorsed Liz Kendall’s Labour leadership campaign, run by “political mastermind” Morgan McSweeney. Kendall came last, receiving 4.5% of the vote.
In 2020, Streeting endorsed Jess Phillips for Labour leader over Keir Starmer and served as her “campaign chair”, stating: “Jess is the person to bring our party and our country together.” Phillips raised £58k in donations for her leadership campaign before promptly dropping out of the race.
Just days after Labour’s defeat in 2019, both Phillips and Streeting spoke at the Limmud Festival. Limmud’s CEO at the time was Eli Ovits, a reserve captain in the Israeli military and former IDF spokesman.
And that ends it all. Streeting should be nowhere near number 10.
