UK politics: Streeting resigns, Burnham returns as pressure mounts on Starmer to step down
United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer has reshuffled his cabinet as pressure mounts over his party's poor local election results, and amid growing speculation about his political future. Health Secretary Wes Streeting's resignation on Thursday (May 14) has fuelled talks of a possible leadership challenge. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham said he plans to return to Westminster by contesting a by-election in northwest England, a necessary step if he hopes to challenge Starmer for the Labour Party leadership.
