Summary
Will today’s cabinet showdown push Keir Starmer to make a final decision on his future? And will that mean Wes Streeting starts a leadership campaign? Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy go over the dynamics of the cabinet meeting and who of the 32 is thinking what – with Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood the most blunt so far about the PM needing to go. They also go over what they’re hearing from those who want any contest to be quick – and from those who want a longer game, with Andy Burnham involved.
