Starmer Rival Streeting Quits, Setting Up UK Leadership Bid

Wes Streeting resigned as Keir Starmer’s health secretary, paving the way for him to challenge the UK prime minister for his job.

“It is now clear that you will not lead the Labour Party into the next general election and that Labour MPs and Labour Unions want the debate about what comes next,” Streeting said in a letter to Starmer that he published on X.
