Good morning, Karen and Alexis.

At a senior meeting of cabinet ministers yesterday, Starmer said he wouldn't go without a fight.

But more than a fifth of his MPs and junior ministers are now publicly calling for him to stand down after a landslide loss in local elections last week.

He met one of his potential challengers this morning, Health Secretary Wes Streeting.

People don't expect any fireworks today as the King is speaking in Parliament, but the crisis in Westminster is by no means over.

This increasingly looks like Keir Starmer's endgame.

20% of his Labour Party MPs have now publicly called on the UK leader to go.

Bloomberg understands last night some of Starmer's closest cabinet allies told him to set out his exit plans.

He has gathered his cabinet in Number 10 Downing Street and told them he intends to stay on.

Now we wait to see what their verdict on his leadership is.
