Andy Burnham's victory in Makerfield last week has accelerated calls for a change in Labour leadership.

Keir Starmer is about to resign, according to widespread reports.

Less than two years after his landslide victory in the 2024 general election, the prime minister seems to have lost the support of his party.

More than 100 Labour MPs have publicly called for him to quit and a growing list of his own cabinet ministers are said to have privately told him to stand down.

Energy secretary Ed Miliband, home secretary Shabana Mahmood, transport secretary Heidi Alexander, chief whip Jonathan Reynolds, foreign secretary Yvette Cooper and Scotland secretary Douglas Alexander have reportedly urged their boss to step aside behind closed doors.

Two former cabinet ministers, Wes Streeting and John Healey, even quit over Starmer’s leadership in the last month.
