The solutions that some MPs and even ministers put forward to Britain’s problems can be laughable in their naivety. There is at least one exception to this catalogue of mediocrity: Health Secretary Wes Streeting. Outside his Whitehall brief, too, Streeting shows a boldness that some of his colleagues – not least Starmer himself – cannot match. Having sparky ministers who can make things happen and connect with the public is a good thing for Starmer and boosts his chances of survival in the long term. And if MPs decide that there is a solution to the leadership quandary, it opens up a possible future of Labour without Starmer.
