UK health minister Wes Streeting resigns

-

LONDON, May ‌14 (Reuters) - British health ​minister Wes Streeting resigned from government ⁠on Thursday, saying he had lost confidence in Prime ​Minister Keir Starmer's leadership.

"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 to be a ⁠battle of ideas, ‌not of personalities ​or petty factionalism," Streeting said in a letter published ‌on X.

"It needs ​to be ⁠broad, and it needs the ‌best possible ⁠field of candidates. I support that approach and I hope ​that you ‌will facilitate this."
