# POLL: Should Starmer sack Wes Streeting to show he's in charge? Vote now
A poll has been launched asking the public whether Labour leader Keir Starmer should dismiss Wes Streeting from his role as Shadow Health Secretary, asserting his control over the party. This inquiry comes in light of Streeting’s recent comments regarding the government’s health strategy and his position within the party.
The situation unfolded earlier this month when Streeting criticized Starmer's stance on several issues, raising questions about the unity and coherence of Labour's messaging. Observers note that Streeting’s remarks appear to challenge Starmer’s authority, prompting concerns about internal party dynamics.
Labour insiders express worry that failing to act decisively against dissenting voices could signal weakness. Starmer must maintain party cohesion as he prepares for the upcoming elections. The poll invites voters to consider if a decisive move to remove Streeting would convey to both party members and the public that Starmer is firmly in control.
Responses to the poll will provide insight into how Labour supporters view leadership accountability within the party. The outcome could potentially drive Starmer’s decision-making as he navigates his leadership strategy.
