- Date posted
- 29 minutes ago
- Description
- Sir Keir Starmer is facing calls from some of his own MPs to resign in the wake of Labour's disastrous local election results.
Catherine West, Labour MP for Hornsey and Friern Barnet, has threatened to a launch leadership bid if senior colleagues do not agree on a successor soon, stating that "working people sent us a message on Thursday".
Former deputy prime minister Angela Rayner has also spoken out, saying it was "a mistake" to block Andy Burnham from running in the Gorton and Denton by-election and calling for him to be allowed to return.
Sky's Rob Powell visited Catherine West's north London constituency and asked voters there what they make of the prime minister's chances of survival - and their MP's bid for power.

- What next for passengers of hantavirus-stricken cruise ship after return to UK?
- Date posted
- 29 minutes ago
- Description
- Passengers of the hantavirus-stricken MV Hondius cruise ship are returning to Britain - so what's next for them, and how will UK officials ensure the virus doesn't spread?
The passengers will be taken to Arrowe Park hospital in the Wirral, where they will remain for 72 hours under strict infection control measures. If they remain virus-free, they will then self-isolate at home for 45 days.
In 2020, the same hospital housed British nationals returning from China at the start of the COVID pandemic - but health officials say the public risk from hantavirus is comparatively much lower.
