Keir Starmer LIVE: PM clings to power as SNP plot new vote

The SNP has announced it will attempt to force a vote on Sir Keir Starmer's future in an amendment to the King's Speech. New SNP Westminster leader Dave Doogan said: "This farce has to end now so Parliament can focus on the issues that really matter. It's clear the only way that can happen is for Keir Starmer to go."

The PM earlier hosted Health Secretary, Wes Streeting for showdown talks amid mounting concerns he could be challenged for the leadership. The meeting came as more than eighty MPs called for the Prime Minister to go, with Sir Keir trying to fend off rumours he will be forced to step aside. Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Manchester, was on Tuesday night said to be holding talks with allies ahead of a potential leadership pitch.
