TOI correspondent from London: UK health secretary Wes Streeting resigned from the cabinet on Thursday with a scathing letter telling UK PM Keir Starmer he had lost faith in his leadership. "Where we need vision, we have a vacuum. Where we need direction, we have drift," Streeting said in a blistering resignation letter, paving the way for a leadership challenge.
Streeting, in his letter, called for a leadership election, a "battle of ideas", but stopped short of triggering one himself, though it is thought he does have the backing of 81 Labour MPs needed to do so.
