I 've been speaking to ministers subsequently,
including in the cabinet, who say this is beginning to look like an orchestrated campaign.
Should Wes Streeting decide to go for it, if Andy Burnham is n't in a position to run,
the soft left will coalesce around at least one other leading figure.
And whether that 's Ed Miliband, whether that 's Angela Reiner,
I think it 's quite going to be increasingly hard to find anybody,
even in his top team, that thinks Keir Stummer will definitely last until the next election.
Ministers resign after Keir Starmer tells his cabinet he 's not stepping down as prime minister,
despite more than 80 MPs calling for him to go.
How much longer has he got?
From The Guardians today in Focus, this is The Latest with me, Lucy Hoth.
Joining me is Pippa Creera, our political editor.
Pippa, thank you for joining us on a very, very busy and tense day.
Normally we would ask our political correspondents and editors to go about 15 minutes up some flights of stairs
in Westminster, but it 's too busy a day for that, so you 're in the Guardian office.
Let's start with the ministerial resignations that we've had, three of them today against Keir Starmer.
How significant and how damaging are they?
So it 's worth just saying, Lucy, that, of course,
all of this is against the backdrop of what happened yesterday at a very dramatic day at Westminster
