Former British health secretary Wes Streeting has labelled the UK's decision to leave the European Union a "catastrophic mistake" as he launches his bid to become the country's next prime minister.
Streeting, who quit his Cabinet position earlier this month, has openly called for Keir Starmer to resign as leader, and told reporters on Saturday that he would stand in any leadership race.
Speaking at the Labour Party's Progress conference, Streeting also took aim at Brexit.
