Wes Streeting has indicated he could pull the trigger on a leadership challenge as early as next week, as the upcoming by-election in Makerfield looms over Sir Keir Starmer’s position.
The former health secretary publicly criticised the prime minister on Tuesday, as he insisted he has the support of the 80 MPs needed to officially launch a leadership contest next week if Sir Keir has not yet set out a timetable for his departure.
