- Sir Keir Starmer is reportedly discussing a plan to hand over the Labour leadership to Andy Burnham, with an announcement expected on Monday.
- The prime minister is at Chequers, taking soundings from ministers and allies, as he considers his departure, which could be as early as mid-July or by early September.
- Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper and other senior Labour figures have urged Sir Keir to set a timetable for his departure, following mounting pressure after Andy Burnham's by-election victory.
- A symbolic photocall for Andy Burnham in Parliament on Monday has fuelled speculation of a “coronation”, though a deal with Wes Streeting, who also seeks the leadership, would be necessary.
- A US president, Donald Trump, commented on the situation, stating on Truth Social that Sir Keir “will resign” due to perceived failures on immigration and energy.
