British Health Secretary: Will not require Prime Minister to resign
British Health Secretary Wes Streeting reiterated his support for Prime Minister Starmer on the 12th, stating that he "will not ask the Prime Minister to resign." According to a source close to Starmer, pressure from within the party is mounting on Starmer's leadership, and a possible "palace coup" within the party may occur after the government announces the 2025 Autumn Budget on the 26th of this month. Streeting and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood are possible successors. It is expected that the budget will propose an increase in income tax, which goes against the Labour Party's election promises and may further damage the party's popularity. Streeting said that the so-called "leaks" from Starmer's allies are not only untrue, but also tantamount to "self-destructive" for the Labour Party in the current situation.
