Streeting expected to challenge Starmer in the next few days.

For the last 21 months, we’ve watched as Sir Keir Starmer goes from scandal to crisis and back – but now his own Labour party seems poised to put an end to his failing premiership.

The endgame is expected to come as reports reveal that his own Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, has gained the backing of enough Labour MPs to launch a leadership challenge.

The Telegraph reported:

“The Health Secretary has recruited more than 81 MPs – the minimum required to trigger a challenge – and is now contemplating his next move.

Sir Keir Starmer was alerted to Mr. Streeting’s intentions when a Downing Street staff member was accidentally texted details of his plans, including the ‘five pillars’ of his campaign and his ‘PFG’, meaning plan for government.”

Streeting’s allies want him to move as soon as next Friday, the day after the expectedly disastrous results for the party in the local elections.

“An early move would catch out Mr Streeting’s leadership rivals, who do not yet have campaigns ready to go, most notably Andy Burnham, the Manchester Mayor, who is ineligible to stand because he is not an MP. Angela Rayner is said to be undecided about whether to stand, and is part of a three-way conversation with Mr. Burnham and Ed Miliband, the Energy Secretary, about being part of a soft-Left triumvirate seizing power.

However, Mr. Streeting is wary of the risks of being first out of the blocks. History shows that politicians who topple leaders rarely succeed them, and there are strong arguments for letting someone else show their hand first or waiting to see whether Sir Keir quits of his own volition.”
