UK ex-health minister says will run to replace Prime Minister Keir Starmer

Wes Streeting, the former British health secretary, has announced he will run to replace Prime Minister Keir Starmer as the Labour leader. Streeting resigned from the Labour government, citing a lack of confidence in Starmer's leadership. He has urged Starmer to set a timetable for his departure and has thrown his weight behind Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham, who is seen as a top contender to replace Starmer. Streeting believes Burnham is the best chance of winning and should override factional advantage.
