Wes Streeting has told Keir Starmer to resign this week to clear the way for a leadership contest.
The former health secretary said it was time to end the ‘drift and uncertainty’ at the top of the top of the Labour government.
He called on the Prime Minister to set out an immediate timetable for departure if Andy Burnham wins the Makerfield by-election on Friday.
‘When the results are in, I hope the prime minister will at that stage reflect on his own position and set out a timetable.
‘I think that would be a better way forward for everyone.’
Allies of Mr Burnham hope
