Which Labour MPs have come out against Starmer?26 minutes agoShareSaveAdd as preferred on GoogleCachella SmithPA Media
A growing number of Labour MPs are coming out against Prime Minister Keir Starmer, with some calling for him to resign and others urging him to set out a timetable for his departure.
Four ministers, including Home Office Minister Jess Phillips, have resigned.
Labour's process for removing a leader requires 81 MPs to back a single challenger. Although there are more than 80 calling for the prime minister's resignation, there is currently no unified support for one specific opponent.
Meanwhile separately, 100 backbenchers and junior ministers have signed a statement saying this is "no time for a leadership contest".
Which ministers have resigned?
Jess Phillips, safeguarding minister
Zubir Ahmed, health minister
Alex Davies-Jones, victims minister
Miatta Fahnbulleh, minister for devolution, faith and communities
