FBI is looking for this man: Muhammad Omar. He's indicted today on 5 counts of health care fraud. FBI says he is on the run. Indictment alleges Omar defrauded the MN housing stabilization program and spent $170K on real estate in Kenya and $60K to lease a Mercedes Benz.
Families are already stretching every dollar just to get by. Rising fuel costs make it harder to get to work, take kids to school, buy groceries, and live everyday life. Minnesotans deserve relief, not more pressure on their wallets.
BREAKING: Wes Streeting appears to have moved against Keir Starmer tonight. After getting through the day the prime minister now looks in increasing peril.
— Several of Streeting’s allies including his PPS Joe Morris and constituency neighbour Jas Athwal have called for Starmer to go in the last two hours, leading to intense speculation that the health secretary is preparing to imminently challenge the PM for his job.
— Labour MPs and aides say developments could now happen quickly if momentum continues to build. A loyalist says it’s now a matter of when not if.
— A Labour official says they believe several Cabinet members are ready to tell the PM he has to set a timetable for his departure if it becomes clear he has lost the authority of the backbenches. They think if the number of public dissenters heads toward three figures that will happen.
— However Cabinet aides insist we are not there yet and they don’t think the whole Cabinet is yet ready to move. One notes that Streeting’s allies appear to have gone after markets closed, after gilts dropped on Monday on the political instability. There will be a lot of attention on market open tomorrow.
— Streeting is silent but there appears to be an orchestrated plot by his supporters to call for Starmer to go so he can move. There was disappointment among some of Streeting’s allies today that he has not moved already but it now feels increasingly inevitable.
— Burnham’s allies say he will soon be ready to show he has a route to parliament. He has pulled out of a long-planned speech at a conference tomorrow. It’s unclear if that’s because he has a bigger announcement to make.
— Labour MPs say the question now is whether Streeting will wait for the cabinet move, or go over the top himself.
