We should cast him in total shadow along with his band of pirates, at least until we can send them to prison.

But yes Streeting is correct. After all, why should I take medical advice from a guy who considered injecting disinfectant would cure COVID.

He suggested BLEACH.
Household bleach not only has a pH of around 12, but liberates radical chlorine.
Household disinfectants don't have a super high pH & the chlorine lability is far lower.
We still can't inject it, but what he blathered was far more dangerous.
