Wes Streeting has been the Labour MP for Ilford North since 2015 and is currently the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.
Wes is very much the focal point in the government’s pay dispute with doctors in the NHS. He has described the British Medical Association (BMA) as a ‘“cartel-like union and no longer a professional voice for doctors.”’ He has also called striking doctors “delusional”.
The Institute for Government has described Wes’ approach to reforming the NHS as ‘“chaotic and incoherent”.’
Accusations have been made against Wes Streeting that he is deliberately targeting doctors and medical staff who voice their support for the Palestinian people. Organisations such as Healthcare Workers Against Censorship and Doctors in Unite have demanded an end to what critics perceive as a ‘“witch-hunt”.’
Wes has sometimes been a source of controversy because of his attritional, factional and confrontational style. He has been accused of bullying political opponents in the Commons.
The @ElectoralCommUK website shows that Wes has personally received £705,258.66 in donations. The bulk of these donations have come from one man - the private healthcare executive Peter Hearn. Peter Hearn has been funding Wes’ career for at least ten years - directly and through his companies - The OPD Group and MPM Connect Ltd.
The following donations and perks have been given to Wes:
£40,000 over 5 payments from Peter Hearn directly.
£218,000 from Peter Hearn and The OPD Group in 4 payments. The most recent payment - £55,000 in February 2026 - while the BMA dispute has been ongoing.

With his approx. £180,000 salary, expenses, donations, speaking engagement fees, radio appearance fees and various perks, Wes has enjoyed a very successful career as an MP.
And as an MP, Wes initially voted to retain the two-child benefit cap, voted to scrap the winter fuel payment (in January 2025, Wes told pensioners to “layer up and put the heating on”), voted for the welfare changes that will impact people who are disabled and unwell, voted against an inquiry into grooming gangs and voted to restrict trials by jury.
