Streeting allies say he's poised to challenge Starmer

from BBC · host BBC

As the King announces the government’s legislative agenda, allies of Health Secretary Wes Streeting say he is preparing to challenge Keir Starmer for the Labour leadership. We speak to Labour MPs from opposing camps. Also on the programme: as Donald Trump touches down in Beijing, could he water down US security commitments to Taiwan, in the interests of a trade deal with China? And we look at the high-end sandwiches packing as much salt as five cheeseburgers.
