Sir Keir Starmer is due to make a major speech today in expected to be the latest attempt to reset his premiership and stave off a leadership challenge.
It comes after a disastrous set of local elections, during which MPs have called on the Prime Minister to step aside. Catherine West, a backbencher, threatened to mount her own challenge if a Cabinet minister did not do so by the end of the day.
It would be "ego over country," one MP from the 2024 intake told the BBC. "It's self-centred. If you want it to be better, then get stuck in. We're in Government, this isn't a game," they added.
Another, a veteran, said: "I take a day off, and all hell kicks off. It's all a bit of a fiasco. People are disoriented, cheesed off and fed up. There is a general view that, in time, Keir will have to go, but we don't want blood on the walls. Let's give it time, and give it time for Andy Burnham to come back."
