Prime Minister Starmer has told his cabinet he will "get on with governing" during a high-stakes meeting, after one of his ministers resigned and urged him to set a timetable for his departure. Miatta Fahnbulleh, who was the minister for devolution, faith and communities, joined almost 80 other Labour Party MPs who have called for the prime minister to quit and draw up an exit timetable. To trigger a leadership contest, 20% of Labour MPs - 81 people - would need to back an alternative candidate. The turmoil follows the party's disappointing results in recent elections in Scotland, Wales and England. As Starmer grapples with a leadership crisis, we explain what's happening - and how we got here.
