The health secretary said he ‘cannot see circumstances’ in which he would challenge Starmer for leadership
In his Sky News interview this morning Wes Streeting said whoever was briefing against him from No 10 would not have been doing it with the support of Keir Starmer. (See 8.25am.) In subsequent interviews he elaborated on this, saying Starmer would be furious about the briefings.
He told ITV’s Good Morning Britain:
That’s the other thing I know about this prime minister: nothing grinds his gears more than this kind of like Westminster bubble stuff and the briefings to newspapers.
You don’t see him angry often, but at cabinet meetings, the only time I’ve seen him really angry is when there have been briefings against colleagues.
