"Calls for Starmer to end his PM run early have come from across Labour after several key members of his cabinet, including chief of staff Morgan McSweeney, have resigned over the past few days. McSweeney resigned on Sunday (8 February) after taking " full responsibility" for appointing former US ambassador Peter Mandelson, who in 2009 allegedly shared confidential information with the late billionaire financier and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein."
"Streeting, 42, branded the "self-defeating" accusations as completely false and proved that "there are people around the prime minister who do not follow his model and style of leadership." "I can tell you without having even spoken to the prime minister what he thinks of [the] briefing, what his reaction will be to the front pages and their broadcast bulletins overnight,""
Calls for Sir Keir Starmer to end his prime ministerial run have intensified after several senior cabinet figures resigned, including chief of staff Morgan McSweeney. McSweeney stepped down after accepting " full responsibility" for appointing former US ambassador Peter Mandelson, who in 2009 allegedly shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein. The scandal has increased speculation that health secretary Wes Streeting could vie for Labour leadership, though he denied plotting against the prime minister and dismissed accusations as "self-defeating." Anonymous briefings warned that attempts to undermine Starmer could be "dangerous," and polls show falling popularity ahead of the budget. Concerns persist that a Streeting government would harm trans rights.
