Streeting Denies Leadership Challenge, Backs Starmer

On November twelfth, British Health Minister Wes Streeting dismissed rumors of a leadership challenge to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, stating he would not be vying for the position. Despite reports of internal party unrest, Starmer led the Labour Party to a significant victory in the 2024 general election. Streeting, along with Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, had been named as possible candidates, but Streeting reiterated his support for Starmer. The Labour Party faces challenges with recent polls showing them trailing behind Nigel Farages Reform UK, and Finance Minister Rachel Reeves is expected to announce significant tax increases in her second budget later this month.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
