Two ministerial aides have resigned over Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership, calling for him to set out a timetable to stand down.
Joe Morris has quit his role as Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to Health Secretary Wes Streeting – a potential leadership contender – saying the PM “no longer has the trust or confidence of the public”.
After a disastrous set of election results for Labour, Tom Rutland also resigned as PPS to Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds, saying he did not believe Sir Keir could meet the challenge from Reform UK.
Meanwhile, Sally Jameson, PPS to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, has joined calls for Sir Keir to set out a timetable for his departure.
