Keir Starmer chairs his first Cabinet meeting since Wes Streeting resigned, according to multiple reports. The meeting follows Streeting’s departure from the government role, and it comes as the Labour leadership situation continues to attract attention.
One report notes that polling carried out by YouGov indicates Andy Burnham is the preferred choice among Labour members for party leader. The same coverage links this leadership preference to the period after Streeting’s resignation, framing the Cabinet meeting as both a routine part of government work and a moment amid internal party politics.
While the reports focus on the timing of the Cabinet meeting and the leadership polling, they do not describe any specific policy decisions or announcements made during the session. Overall, the information presented centres on Starmer’s role in chairing the Cabinet and the reported findings on members’ preferred leadership candidate.
