Wes Streeting ratted out his fellow leadership plotters to Starmer’s Chief of Staff, according to the New Statesman. Ailbhe Rea reports that the Health Secretary protested to Morgan McSweeney that he was only “planning” for a post-Starmer world as anyone would:
“Streeting told McSweeney he wasn’t plotting, but “planning”, as any self-respecting cabinet minister would. The Health Secretary said he had no plans to trigger a leadership challenge and the suggestion he had 50 or so frontbenchers poised to resign after the Budget was absurd. As Labour struggled desperately in the polls, however, he was preparing for what would come next. It’s not just me, Streeting explained to McSweeney: so is half the cabinet. He proceeded to list the names of colleagues making their own preparations for a leadership contest.“
Must have made him popular back out in the playground…
