MPs continue King's Speech debate after Wes Streeting RESIGNS

Live from the House of Commons as MPs continue to debate the Government’s legislative agenda from the King's Speech on Wednesday. The session comes as Health Secretary Wes Streeting has resigned and is expected to announce a bid for the top job after Labour descended into open division at the start of the week. Efforts to lever Sir Keir Starmer out of Downing Street appeared to stall on Wednesday, with no further ministerial resignations or backbench calls for his resignation as Westminster turned its attention to the King’s Speech. This morning, Angela Rayner has said that she has been cleared of any tax misconduct by HMRC, paving the way for a potential leadership bid. The former Deputy Prime Minister stood down from the role last year amid an investigation into her tax affairs after she accrued £40,000 in unpaid stamp duty.
