Description
► Keir Starmer has said he has “full confidence” in Wes Streeting following the King’s Speech, even as reports suggest the health secretary is preparing to launch his leadership bid as early as tomorrow.
The pair had a 17-minute closed-door meeting earlier today as Sir Keir continued to hold strong, but away from the chaos of No.10, reports have suggested a leadership bid is imminent.
Leading supporters of the health secretary have told the BBC that they are confident he will trigger a leadership contest tomorrow, saying that if he doesn’t “we’ll have knifed ourselves for nothing”.
