Chris Mason

Quite a few of whom are talking about him setting out a timetable for his departure, as opposed to suggesting that he ought to go right away.

And at least some of them are rather keen on the idea of Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, being the...

being the next prime minister.

And of course, he's going to need time if he's going to make it back to Westminster, because he's got to find a seat and then persuade Labour to let him run in the seat and then win the seat.

And none of those things are guaranteed.

And as we're recording, I see my...

A colleague on our news desk, Emily, has just put in one of our WhatsApp groups that Nick Eardley, our colleague, has just interviewed Wes Streeting.

Now, the reason this is interesting is that loads of the cabinet were putting on social media earlier how much they supported the prime minister and you should let him carry on, etc., etc., in response to these MPs saying maybe you shouldn't.

By the way, to put 20 into context, there's more than 400 MPs.

Labour MPs, but these are ones who are willing to say it publicly.

Anyway, Wes Streeting had not tweeted his support, but he has now spoken to Nick Eardley at the Redbridge Sports Centre.

This is in East London where he's an MP and there's been accounts for the council there.

Keir Starmer will have my support, he says, when he sets out on Monday how he intends to ensure our government can still deliver the change people voted for.

we've got the message, we can still deliver change, Labour can be the change people want to see, has said Wes Streeting, and therefore he has, it would seem, said, well he has, Keir Starmer will have my support.

So no Wes Streeting leadership challenge over the next three days.

That seems to be clear, I think, from what I'm reading there.

Ed Miliband, when he eventually tweeted, he wasn't one of the first out of the blocks either.

He didn't actually explicitly in his message say he was backing Keir Starmer.

I'm sure he and his team would say that he does, but he talked about how devastating the results were and then said, as Keir has said, we must go further in delivering the mandate for change that Labour won in 2024 and show how we will answer the call for change in our country.

He doesn't quite in as many words say what West Streeting has said about...
