## 'It wasn't me!' Keir Starmer has destroyed his reputation by denying Wes Streeting attacks
The Prime Minister has emphatically distanced himself from the turmoil engulfing the Labour Party, asserting that he should not be held accountable for the infighting among its members. This comes after a series of fierce criticisms directed at Health Secretary Wes Streeting by Starmer's associates, who have not hesitated to capitalize on the intra-party discord.
Starmer's denial of involvement raises questions about his leadership capabilities as discontent brews within the party. Many within Labour have echoed concerns that the party's internal conflicts reflect deeper issues in their strategy and direction under Starmer. Some loyalists are reportedly frustrated by Streeting receiving criticism from his own colleagues, which is seen as a sign of disunity that could jeopardize Labour's chances in future elections.
Amidst these developments, Labour's reputation is increasingly at stake, with Starmer's retreat from owning the fallout illustrating a leader hesitant to navigate through the chaos effectively. A number of party members have publicly criticized Streeting’s approach to health policy, which, they argue, has not only alienated certain factions but failed to resonate with the broader electorate.
As Labour grapples with its identity and cohesion, Starmer's attempts to sidestep responsibility could have lasting implications. His reluctance to confront the internal strife head-on could ultimately undermine the party’s credibility as it seeks to position itself as a viable alternative to the governing Conservatives.
