British Health Secretary Wes Streeting resigned from the government on May 14, saying he had lost confidence in Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
In his resignation letter published on X, Streeting said Starmer had created a “vacuum” where the country needed a “vision” and urged him to listen to his fellow lawmakers.
