Streeting Reignites War With No.10 As Mandelson Messages Show Him Criticising Government

Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer at a healthcare provider in Surrey last January.

Wes Streeting has gone to war with No.10 again as it emerged he criticised the government in private messages to Peter Mandelson.

The health secretary accused Keir Starmer’s allies of briefing against him with claims that he was behind Anas Sarwar’s failed coup against the prime minister.

Sarwar, the Scottish Labour leader, became the most senior party figure to call on Starmer to resign yesterday.
