Two Labour MPs are considering mounting a challenge for the party's leadership after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned on Monday.
Former Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is widely seen as the frontrunner to take over as Labour leader. But ex-minister for the armed forces Al Carns and Darren Jones, the PM's chief secretary, are said to be lining up challenges in order to prevent Burnham winning without a contest.
They would each need support from 81 MPs in order to challenge Burnham.
