A growing number of Labour MPs are coming out against Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, with some calling for him to resign and others urging him to set out a timetable for his departure.
Four ministers, including Safeguarding Minister Minister Jess Phillips, have resigned.
Labour's process for removing a leader requires 81 MPs to back a single challenger. Although there are more than 80 calling for the prime minister's resignation, there is currently no unified support for one specific opponent.
Meanwhile separately, more than 100 backbenchers and junior ministers have signed a statement saying this is "no time for a leadership contest".
Some 110 Labour MPs have signed a statement, that reads: "Last week we had a devastatingly tough set of election results. It shows we have a hard job ahead to win back trust from the electorate.
"That job needs to start today – with all of us working together to deliver the change the country needs. We must focus on that.
"This is no time for a leadership contest."
