Wes Streeting resigns as Health Secretary - Update

BBC News: Reports the following in its 1.01pm post, " Wes Streeting resigns as health secretary "

Let's Get Real:

Thus the game is afoot, Wes Streeting has resigned, will he declare that he is a leadership candidate to become PM.  One can expect that Angela Rayner and if he can find a seat, Andy Burnham to stand.  Will the PM stand and go out with some dignity, that is the question.

Update: Sky News in its 1.24pm post states  that Streeting will not call for an immediate contest, wants the PM to set out a timetable for his resignation.

Update: BBC News reports in its 5.41pm post that Andy Burnham has found a seat, will the PM try to stop him again. If he does not then he knows that Burnham will challenge him for the leadership.  What will Starmer do?   The one thing King of North has to do is win a by - election.  Reform and the Greens will make it hard for Burnham to win, the by election will be seen as a national contest.

Update: Guardian reports in its 7.00pm post that the PM will not block Andy Burnham from standing in a by - election.  Vote Burnham and DESPATCH Sir Keir could be the unofficial slogan of the Burnham Campaign, the King of the North returns to the House of Commons.
