Starmer snub ignites Streeting ‘coup’ plot on King’s Speech day
•
Wes Streeting is expected to resign and launch a leadership challenge as early as tomorrow, plunging Westminster into crisis just as Parliament reopens.
The King announced the Government’s legislative agenda this afternoon but the big story was machinations at No 10, where the Health Secretary and Keir Starmer held a meeting that lasted just 16 minutes.
Camilla and Tim battle the elements outside Parliament to bring you the latest developments from a tense day in Westminster.
They are joined by Labour MP Luke Akehurst, who pleads directly with his friend Wes Streeting to not resign – and suggests he doesn’t have enough MPs behind him anyway.
