Published

on



Health Secretary Wes Streeting has resigned from Keir Starmer’s government, saying he has “lost confidence” in his leadership.

In a letter to the prime minister, which Streeting published online, he says “where we need vision, we have a vacuum. Where we need direction, we have drift”.

Earlier Chancellor Rachel Reeves told BBC Breakfast that a contest would “plunge the country into chaos”.

The UK PM is battling to save his job after four ministers quit and dozens of Labour MPs urged him to resign after last week’s heavy election losses.

Published

Chancellor Rachel Reeves said in an exclusive interview with the BBC that any Labour leadership contest would “plunge the country into chaos”.

It comes as Angela Rayner, seen as a potential challenger to PM Keir Starmer, was cleared by HMRC of wrongdoing over her tax affairs after settling £40,000 in unpaid stamp duty, saying she had been “exonerated” of the accusation she had “deliberately sought to avoid tax”.

On Wednesday, allies of Health Secretary Wes Streeting said they expected him to launch a challenge as soon as today.
