Keir Starmer’s final hours

Keir Starmer is on the brink of resigning – the only question left is when does the drama end.

After a tense weekend, the Prime Minister remains under intense pressure from his cabinet to quit, with Downing Street braced for the end of another short-lived premiership.

Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy have inside information from both the Starmer and Burnham camps on whether Labour can manage a seamless transition or whether a brutal leadership battle lies ahead.

Plus, if there is to be a handover of power in the coming weeks, what are the pro and cons?
