In a surprise move that's set to shake the foundations of the UK's opposition party, former Health Secretary Wes Streeting has confirmed he'll challenge Labour leader Keir Starmer for the top spot.

But with Starmer enjoying the backing of a significant chunk of the party's establishment, the contest promises to be a closely fought and highly contentious battle.
