The prime minister's political future hangs in the balance, with his home secretary, a handful of ministers and more than 80 MPs calling on him to go, if not immediately then in the near future.

However, there is not a consensus among Labour MPs about who they want to replace Sir Keir Starmer as leader of the Labour party and of the country.

And on Tuesday, the prime minister told the cabinet he would "get on with governing" and that a leadership contest had not been triggered.

So although no one has publicly said they want to take over yet, here are some potential contenders.

Wes Streeting has been health secretary since Labour came to power in 2024 and shadowed the position in opposition for three years before that.
