She said in her resignation letter that she had given up believing that Keir Starmer could bring the change she wanted to see.
On Tuesday morning, members of the press shouted questions at Mr Starmer's senior ministers as they went into 10 Downing Street for a Cabinet meeting.

The Prime Minister talked about the challenges we face as a country, the crisis in the Middle East, the impact on the cost of living here, and that this government will do what we were elected to do, which is serve the British people.
The Prime Minister has my full support in this.

Similar to what we heard when, of course, the Conservatives were in power for 14 years.
But to sort of bring you up to date, where we are is a sort of tense standoff between the prime minister, Keir Starmer, making it clear to his cabinet and beyond that to the party, look, I'm not going anywhere unless someone challenges me.
