Has Wes Streeting been 'got'?

Has Wes Streeting been 'got'?

This is the BBC summary of the policies the Labour government intends to enact - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clypj215wgpo

A lot of those policies make sense to a lot of people. Of course, some will say that they don't go far enough, and others will say they should be focusing elsewhere etc... But on the whole, I believe the majority of those policies/changes would be a benefit to most of us.

So... Wes Streeting chooses to walk into 10 Downing Street before the speech and resign, and makes known his intention to stage a leadership contest. The result? NONE of these policies are discussed in the mainstream media, instead the focus is on the 'inevitable' fall of Starmer.

The majority of the media (owned by the Murdochs/Rothermeres etc) clearly have their vested interest in bringing in a man that they can control, and that's evident in the current political temperature of the country. But anyone within the party that's serious about Labour succeeding would recognise how disastrous it would be to create complete division within the Gov/party at this time.

So I wonder - has Wes Streeting been 'got at' by the elites who've seen him as popular enough to take down Starmer, but will also work in their interests, and if it were to transpire that he ultimately took the leadership whose interests would he be acting for?
