UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has insisted he won't resign despite growing calls within the Labour Party for him to step down.
Several junior ministers have quit in protest, stoking speculation that Starmer could suffer the same fate as Boris Johnson in 2022.
Around 90 Labour lawmakers have now said Starmer should stand down or set out a timetable for his departure, but no candidate has issued a challenge to the prime minister.
Under Labour party rules, a fifth of its lawmakers in the House of Commons, or 81 members, must publicly give their backing to a single candidate for a leadership election to take place.
Several junior ministers, including Miatta Fahnbulleh and Jess Phillips, have resigned and urged Starmer to do the same for the good of the country and the party.
Starmer has taken responsibility for the losses in last week's elections but says he will fight on.
