Wes Streeting går av som Storbritannias helseminister og sier han har mistet tillit til britenes statsminister Keir Starmer.
– Du kommer ikke til å lede partiet vårt i neste valg, skriver han i brevet som er direkte adressert til Starmer.
Han kunngjorde oppsigelsen sin i et innlegg på X.
Han kritiserer også det elendige lokalvalget regjeringspartiet Labour gjorde tidligere i mai.
– Der vi trenger visjoner, har vi et vakuum. Der vi trenger en kurs, ligger vi og driver, skriver han.
Labour tapte over 1400 seter i lokalstyrene forrige onsdag og mistet også makten i Wales for første gang på over 100 år.
Det kreves støtte fra 81 av Labours 403 parlamentsmedlemmer for å utløse et ledervalg. Tirsdag ettermiddag hadde minst 80 av dem offentlig gått ut og sagt at de ønsker ledervalg, ifølge Sky News.
