John McDonnell, the Labour leftwinger and shadow chancellor under Jeremy Corbyn, has accused Wes Streeting, the health secretary, of launching a “coup” against Keir Starmer. He posted this on social media this morning.
I called for time for serious discussion, no precipitous coup & fully democratic process if leadership election.Instead Wes Streeting has launched coup for fear of a democratic process & whilst candidates are blocked. Handing leadership to Mandelson’s protege is gift to Reform
