British politician Wes Streeting has criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for his disrespectful behavior towards a female reporter, where he called her “Quiet! Quiet, piggy.” Streeting expressed that such conduct towards women should be a thing of the past and stated his disbelief that a prominent British politician would speak to a journalist in such a manner.

Streeting, not wanting his sisters or any woman to face such disrespect, emphasized that such behavior is inappropriate, especially in a professional setting. Trump directed the offensive remark at Bloomberg’s Catherine Lucey while she questioned him about the Epstein files during a flight to Washington on Air Force One.

Upon viewing the footage of Trump’s derogatory comments on ITV’s This Morning, Streeting firmly condemned the behavior, stating it was unacceptable. He stressed the ongoing battle against sexism and misogyny in society, highlighting the need to eradicate such language and treatment towards women from public discourse.

Streeting, who is launching England’s first Men’s Health Strategy, outlined his efforts to redefine traditional notions of masculinity, aiming to combat harmful stereotypes that perpetuate sexist and misogynistic attitudes among men.

The new Government initiative focusing on men’s health aims to address issues like suicide, alcohol misuse, and problem gambling. Highlighting that men often suffer in silence and engage in risky behaviors more than women, the Government plans to invest £3.6 million in suicide prevention programs tailored for middle-aged men in high-risk communities, particularly in deprived areas of England.
