Health Secretary Wes Streeting resigns from government
In a letter, Streeting called for Starmer's resignation, criticising Starmer's leadership and the direction of the Labour Party
"If Labour thinks Wes Streeting is the answer, they obviously don’t know the question the country is asking."

BREAKING: Slimeball Wes Streeting quits Cabinet. Won’t make any difference to the deadly trans conversion therapy regime he’s set up at the NHS which the press is ignoring. Too many Labour terfs holding positions impacting trans lives. Wes would fit seamlessly into Reform or Cons.
Wes Streeting has resigned as Secretary for Health and Social Care, saying he has “lost confidence” in Keir Starmer’s leadership.
In his letter of resignation to Starmer, posted to his social media channels on 14 May, Streeting outlined some of the wins the NHS has achieved under his leadership, like decreasing wait times and increasing GP satisfaction.
“These are all good reasons for me to remain in post, but as you know from our conversation earlier this week, having lost confidence in your leadership, I have concluded that it would be dishonourable and unprincipled to do so,” he wrote.

Thank you also to @BoyGeorge for sending a recorded message of solidarity: “I don’t want to be thanked for doing what is right. God bless you all.”
It is extraordinary how few celebrities have been willing to stand unequivocally with the Jewish community during this unprecedentedly challenging period.
It is thus even more appreciated that a small number, like Boy George, do so, and are prepared to endure the abuse that they receive from antisemites as a result.
