Former Labour health secretary Wes Streeting tells MPs he will not return to government after resigning last week and warns Labour must “change course” to avoid risking an election victory for Reform UK. Multiple outlets report that Streeting speaks in the House of Commons during his resignation remarks, arguing that Keir Starmer’s government is failing to win the fight against “nationalism.” The Independent adds that Streeting says he has “no regrets” about quitting, and that he also raises the question of whether Starmer should step down, describing his concerns with the government’s direction. Coverage focuses on Streeting’s warning that Labour’s approach is not addressing voters who support Reform and that the party needs to alter its strategy to prevent Reform from gaining electoral advantage. Overall, the reports present Streeting’s resignation and his political critique of the government’s messaging and priorities as the central developments, with emphasis on his warning that Labour could lose if it does not adjust course.
