Allies of Sir Keir Starmer have said the Prime Minister is preparing to resign following Andy Burnham's by-election victory in Makerfield.
A Labour MP loyal to the Prime Minister said he believed Sir Keir would announce his departure date as soon as Monday
A senior ally told The Sun: "I think there is just a 25 per cent chance [Sir Keir] fights on now."
One Labour frontbencher added: "The PM just doesn’t have many friends left. It is about Keir Starmer. He is the problem. If Andy Burnham wasn’t challenging him someone else would be.”
Another senior figure told The Telegraph there had been "quite a bit of movement" among Cabinet ministers since the by-election result.
