MPs reassemble for King's Speech debate as Starmer braces for leadership challenge

Live from the House of Commons as MPs reconvene after the King's Speech to debate the Government’s legislative agenda for the coming year. The session comes as Wes Streeting is poised to resign as soon as tomorrow and trigger a leadership race that could topple the Prime Minister. The health secretary is said to be plotting despite his face-off with his boss this morning. It threatens to overshadow the Kings Speech, and even comes as the SNP announced it would attempt to force out the PM immediately after the King leaves Parliament. New SNP Westminster leader Dave Doogan said: “This farce has to end now so Parliament can focus on the issues that really matter. It’s clear the only way that can happen is for Keir Starmer to go." The PM earlier hosted Health Secretary, Wes Streeting for showdown talks amid mounting concerns he could be challenged for the leadership. The meeting came as more than eighty MPs called for the Prime Minister to go, with Sir Keir trying to fend off rumours he will be forced to step aside. Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Manchester, was on Tuesday night said to be holding talks with allies ahead of a potential leadership pitch.
