Angela Rayner, the deputy leader of the Labour Party, has announced that she has been cleared of any tax misconduct by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). This development could pave the way for her to launch a leadership bid should current leader Sir Keir Starmer resign. In an interview with ITV, Rayner stated, "I’m not doing deals or anything like that," indicating her intention to pursue her ambitions independently. Meanwhile, tensions within the Labour Party are escalating, with Health Secretary Wes Streeting reportedly preparing to announce his own challenge for the leadership. Although 87 Labour MPs have called for Starmer's resignation, they have not unified behind a single candidate. Other potential challengers include Ed Miliband and Al Carns, who have expressed the need for decisive action rather than mere rhetoric. Amidst this turmoil, Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has raised doubts about the ability of Starmer's rivals to gain sufficient support for a leadership contest.
