Labour At War As Starmer Allies Condemned For 'Incredibly Stupid' Briefing Against Wes Streeting

He's behind you: Streeting is accused of plotting to replace Starmer.

Allies of Keir Starmer have been condemned over “incredibly stupid” calls for the prime minister to sack Wes Streeting.

The Times quoted three cabinet ministers urging the prime minister to dump his health secretary for plotting against him.

But senior Labour figures reacted with fury, accusing the PM’s allies of taking attention away from the bitter battle on the right of British politics following Robert Jenrick’s defection from the Tories to Reform UK.
