Wes #Streeting, the #PrincelingOfDarkness (loyal pal of #Mandelson), has resigned from the UK government.

But he has NOT made a leadership challenge. Which he would have done, if he had the numbers.

Now he is trying to save some face by posing as a sort of fair process advocate. But basically, he has just crashed. 😅🤣🥂🍺

And he is no longer Health Secretary ❤️
