PM has full confidence in Wes Streeting- Update

Noted: The State Opening of Parliament.  The King has been dragged in to the Labour psycho drama, HM had a successful State Visit to the US, his health does not need Labour Games.  God Save the King.

BBC News: Reports in its 1.50pm post the following, " Starmer has 'full confidence' in Streeting, No 10 says - amid talk of leadership challenge "

Let's Get Real:

Is the PM trying to warn Streeting off and others, or is trying to get inside Streeting head to warn him off.  Thus we wait to see if Angela Rayner enters the race supported by Andy Burnham, could be her Chancellor, seat in the Lords.  Thus we wait the announcement from the Health Secretary that he is resign his post to run.  

Wes Streeting to stand for Labour Leadership - Update

Noted: Trump in China, how will the visit go, US is in a war with Iran, Tehran is ally of China.

BBC News: Reports in its 12.18pm post the following, " Supporters of Wes Streeting expect him to launch leadership challenge "

Let's Get Real:

It seems this blog was wrong last night, Wes Streeting is running for the Labour Leadership, well his Allies have told the press.  Thus one can expect Angela Rayner to run as Andy Burnham is not an MP.  Will PM Starmer run, he could lose to either candidate.  One gets the impression the PM is very stubborn and a process man, he is a lawyer after all.
