Wes Streeting insists he can win Labour leadership race despite ‘underdog’ status
Wes Streeting, former health secretary, has launched a shadow campaign for Labour party leadership despite acknowledging his underdog status. He claims he can win over the Labour left and has warned that keeping Keir Starmer in charge risks allowing a Reform government to take power, similar to Joe Biden's situation. Streeting recently quit the cabinet and called for Starmer's resignation.
