Wes Streeting has resigned from government, a move that could pave the way for a Labour leadership contest. The Ilford North MP has long been suspected of harbouring ambitions for the party's top job.
Streeting's political journey began in a council estate in east London, where he grew up. From an early age, he displayed a strong desire for organisational leadership, which later propelled him into frontline politics.
Having served in various shadow cabinet roles, Streeting's resignation now positions him as a potential kingmaker or candidate in the upcoming leadership race. His career trajectory reflects a steady rise from humble beginnings to the highest echelons of government.
