Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s premiership is in grave peril after a key member of his Cabinet told him to set out an exit plan following dire nationwide election results.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood last night told Starmer to oversee an orderly transition of power and consider setting out a timeline for his departure. The PM hosts a weekly Cabinet meeting at 9.30 a.m.
More than 70 Labour MPs have now called on Starmer to go. Westminster eyes are on a potential intervention by health secretary and possible leadership challenger Wes Streeting.
