Wes Streeting asked about his mental health
I want to ask about your mental health and how you cope with stress. I don’t know if there’s been any recent experience that put you under any pressure. Um, how do you cope with stress? How do you build resilience? And how do you deal with this sort of toxic culture in Westminster? Like, you know, we’re talking about men opening up being comfortable sort of, you know, talking honestly about what’s on the table and meanwhile, you know, you’d have to be paranoid to think that they’re out to get you. How do how do you deal with it dayto-day? It’s a good question because obviously the job I do, it’s high profile. It’s in the public eye. But most importantly of all, it really matters. And the pressure I feel every single day that I go into work is the pressure of knowing that it’s my job to turn the NHS around from the worst crisis in its history. Toxic culture. Does that get to you at all? No. Water off a duck’s back.
