Political pressure is mounting on UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer after Health Secretary Wes Streeting resigned from the cabinet, reportedly citing a “loss of confidence” in the government. The resignation has intensified questions over leadership stability and internal divisions within the ruling administration. Analysts say the departure could weaken Starmer’s authority at a time when the government is already facing growing criticism over economic and public service challenges.
