    A ploy to disarm the critics?

    His register of interests reveals large donations. A Peter Hearn has given him £25,000 in total.

    Hearn is described as a 'recruitment executive' here. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/the1000/the-progress-1000-londons-most-influential-people-2016-westminster-a3336621.html
    Notice Sir Trevor Chinn too.

    'Dan Jarvis
    Labour MP for Barnsley Central
    Former Para Jarvis showed political nous by staying out of the 2015 Labour leadership contest. Since then he has managed to establish himself in many minds as the party’s electable face of the future. Donors Sir Trevor Chinn, hedge-fund guru Martin Taylor and recruitment executive Peter Hearn certainly think so, having pumped funds into the MP’s private office. His speeches setting out a vision of a Labour-led economy won plaudits. Expect him to make a move when the time is right.

    In the same ES piece, in which Jeremy Corbyn is referred to as 'a bearded leftie'!, The Progress 1000: London's most influential people 2016 - Westminster, Streeting has this entry -

    'Wes Streeting
    Labour MP for Ilford North
    Streeting is the type of young, fresh and professional MP that some in Labour long to see filling the frontbench. The former councillor and PwC consultant is both knowledgeable on public policy and an articulate media performer. His star was already rising when he was elected, but since then he has become one of the most effective inquisitors on the influential treasury select committee. He has gained extra profile as one of Jeremy Corbyn’s most outspoken critics on the Labour backbenches.'

    LOL. That was 2016. Many of those have disappeared without trace. Jarvis, an ex Para, is now the mayor of Sheffield. How can one be an MP (since 2011) and a city Mayor (since 2018)?

    This says he is a member of LFoI.
