Summary
Cabinet ministers loyal to Keir Starmer have warned him that he must set a timetable for his departure by the end of the weekend or face being forced out by his own party. Andy Burnham, who won a strong majority in the Makerfield byelection, is expected to travel to London to meet MPs, with expectations he could become prime minister within weeks. One cabinet minister who had not previously called for Starmer to go now describes his departure as inevitable, and around 200 Labour MPs are reportedly prepared to sign Burnham's nomination.
