UK Health Minister Quits, Calls for Leadership Contest to Oust PM Starmer The UK's Labour Party is facing a fresh crisis after Health Minister Wes Streeting resigned on Thursday, citing deepening divisions within the party and calling for a leadership contest to oust Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Streeting's resignation comes just two weeks after Labour suffered a crushing defeat in local elections, which saw the governing party hemorrhage seats and lose control of several key councils.
The losses highlighted the failure of Starmer's promise to bring stability to the party since he took over nearly two years ago.
