Breaking News: Wes Streeting Denies Plotting Against PM Amid Leadership Claims
Wes Streeting, the UK Health Secretary, has denied plotting against Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, dismissing claims as "self-defeating nonsense." Streeting made the statement on Wednesday, following reports from Starmer's allies that his job was under threat due to his alleged leadership ambitions.
Streeting's denial comes after friends of the Prime Minister expressed concerns about his loyalty, citing his potential leadership ambitions as a threat to Starmer's position. In response, Streeting urged Starmer to address the issue and "sack whoever is briefing the media."
The Health Secretary also criticized the anonymous briefings against him, labeling them "the worst attack on a faithful" since a TV show contestant was banished. Streeting's comments suggest a growing rift within the Labour Party, with some members questioning the culture in No 10.
The situation remains fluid, with Streeting's future in the cabinet uncertain. The Prime Minister has yet to respond to Streeting's denial, and it is unclear how this will affect the party's leadership dynamics.
