1:27Now PlayingThe UK's Labour Party is headed for a divisive battle over the country's top political office, as Wes Streeting, a leading Cabinet member, prepares to challenge Prime Minister Keir Starmer. #uk #politics #worldnews #england #britain
Allies of Streeting said he was likely to quit his post as health secretary and launch a bid to replace Starmer as Labour leader, prompting Starmer's supporters to affirm his determination to contest any attempt to unseat him.
A potential leadership battle could take months, consuming the government's attention at a time when the UK is struggling with slow growth, weak employment, and rising inflation, and could prompt other contenders to step forward with their own platforms.
