Health Secretary Wes Streeting has insisted that he is not - and will not - try to oust Sir Keir Starmer following overnight briefings he would do so.

Asked if he will launch a leadership challenge after the budget on 26 November, Mr Streeting told Sky's Mornings with Ridge and Frost : "No."

He said it is a "totally self-defeating briefing, not least because it's not true".

The health secretary also ruled out that he would demand Sir Keir resign in the days after the budget later this month, or after the local elections in May.
