MP says that unless a cabinet minister comes forward to challenge the PM by tomorrow that she willGood morning. There were many predictions for Labour’s future ahead of the English, Scottish and Welsh elections, which have been terrible for the party, but there is one outcome foreseen by no one: a leadership challenge by Catherine West.West, MP for Hornsey and Friern Barnet and a junior Foreign Office minister until she was sacked in the reshuffle last year, announced yesterday afternoon that, unless a cabinet minister comes forward to challenge Starmer for the Labour leadership by tomorrow morning, she will do it herself. She would need the support of 81 Labour MPs to trigger a contest; there is no evidence that she has those numbers and (for reasons that are probably a mystery to anyone under the age of 50 – more on that later) she is being described as a stalking horse.I’m not going to walk away from the job I was elected to do in July 2024.

An inquest has found that the NHS failed a mother whose baby died a week after an unsafe home birth that went against medical advice. Poppy Hope Lomas was seven days old when she died on 26 October 2022 at University College Hospital in London after complications during a home birth encouraged by midwives at Barnet Hospital. The senior coroner said the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust had supported an "unsafe home delivery" and failed to address "an accumulation of risk factors". The mother had previously had a caesarean section, and guidance states vaginal births after caesarean should take place in a suitably equipped delivery suite.
