UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting resigns from Keir Starmer's Cabinet
British Health Secretary Wes Streeting resigned on Thursday, citing loss of confidence in Prime Minister Keir Starmer's leadership following heavy Labour Party defeats in local elections. Streeting's resignation is the first Cabinet departure and signals potential leadership challenges within the ruling Labour government. Starmer faces mounting pressure from within his own party to step down after less than two years in office.
