Streeting Says He Could Trigger Labour Leadership Contest Next Week. Former Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said he would be prepared to trigger a Labour leadership contest as early as next week if uncertainty over Prime Minister Keir Starmer continues. Speaking to BBC Newsnight, Streeting said Labour could not continue with what he described as “uncertainty and paralysis” and suggested a leadership race may become necessary. He said he would prefer Starmer to make a decision about his future voluntarily but indicated he was willing to act if that did not happen. Streeting also claimed he already has the support of the 81 Labour MPs required to launch a leadership challenge. Meanwhile, Andy Burnham has also expressed an interest in any future leadership contest. Starmer has repeatedly insisted he will not step aside and remains committed to leading the government.
