UK health minister Streeting resigns in new blow to PM Starmer

Wes Streeting announced Thursday that he has resigned as Britain's health minister, paving the way for a potential leadership challenge against embattled Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

In his resignation letter to the prime minister, which Streeting posted on X, he said he had "lost confidence" in Starmer's leadership and "it is now clear that you will not lead the Labour Party into the next general election".
