Is Wes Streeting planning to resign, who is his partner Joe Dancey, where do they live?

Wes Streeting was seen at Downing Street on Wednesday May 13 after a meeting with Sir Keir Starmer that reportedly lasted less than twenty minutes. As he walked to a waiting car on exiting Number 10, he did not respond to questions from journalists.

Sir Keir Starmer and his wife Victoria were then seen leaving Downing Street to travel to parliament ahead of the King’s Speech. When he addressed Parliament, King Charles said: “My Lords and members of the House of Commons.

“An increasingly dangerous and volatile world threatens the United Kingdom, with the conflict in the Middle East only the most recent example. Every element of the nation’s energy, defence and economic security will be tested.

“My Government will respond to this world with strength and aim to create a country that is fair for all. My ministers will take decisions that protect the energy, defence and economic security of the United Kingdom for the long-term.

“They will defend the British values of decency, tolerance and respect for difference under our common flag, and they will harness the potential of the pride felt across this country for its communities. My Government will take urgent action to tackle antisemitism and ensure all communities feel safe.

“My Government believes that the United Kingdom’s economic security depends on raising living standards in every part of the United Kingdom. My ministers will support measures that maintain stability and control the cost of living.

“They will use public investment to shape markets and attract further private investment. They will deploy the power of an active state in partnership with business and enable reforms that support higher growth and a fair deal for working people.”

King Charles also said: “My Government believes that improved trading relations are vital for the United Kingdom’s economic security, for significantly raising economic growth, and for lowering prices for working people. My Ministers will introduce legislation to take advantage of new trading opportunities, including a Bill to strengthen ties with the European Union.

“My Government will also support the economic security of British businesses.”

Following the resignations of Jess Phillips, Alex Davies-Jones and Miatta Fahnbulleh, Wes Streeting has shared an update on X. He wrote: “Under Labour, NHS waiting lists are falling, ambulances are arriving faster, there are more GP’s, and higher patient satisfaction.

“Lots done, lots to do.

“The Health Bill will boost the impact of our investment and modernisation, cutting bureaucracy to invest in patient care.”

In an interview with The Guardian in 2022, Wes Streeting spoke about his siblings and upbringing and said: “I’ve got five brothers, a sister and a stepsister, and I always joke with them that I spent 10 years as an only child and they were the happiest years of my life.”

Wes Streeting was asked about his decision to live with his father and he replied: “Lots of reasons. I felt… my mum was going through a lot of upheaval in her life and her relationships and home life was quite disruptive. I went to live with him for what was meant to be a short-term period, but I felt a lot more settled and secure there and in the end I chose to stay, which is probably the hardest conversation I ever had with my mum.

“It must have been hard for her, but she was good about it.” He is, I think, someone who has a strong sense of what he needs in life.”

Wes Streeting lives with his partner Joe Dancey in Redbridge in North East London and the couple reportedly got engaged in 2022. Joe Dancey was executive assistant to Lord Sebastian Coe when he helped organise the London 2012 Olympics.

Joe Dancey’s mother had been a Labour councillor and in the 2024 General Election stood as an MP for the new constituency Stockton West.
