LONDON, May 16 (Reuters) – Former health minister Wes Streeting said on Saturday that he would challenge Prime Minister Keir Starmer in any leadership contest held, days after stepping down and urging Starmer to set a timetable for his departure.
“We need a proper contest with the best candidates on the field, and I will be standing,” Streeting told a conference of the Progress group of Labour supporters.
