00:00West Midlands Labour MPs are among those who have led calls for Sir Keir Starmer to step down
00:06after poor local election results. Birmingham Yardley MP Jess Phillips has resigned as
00:12safeguarding minister, saying she could no longer serve under his leadership.
00:16Paulette Hamilton, Tahir Ali, Alex Ballinger and Rachel Taylor have also criticised Sir Keir,
00:22saying voters and constituents have lost confidence. They say Labour has moved away
00:28from core values, chosen the wrong battles and failed to offer a clear vision for change.
00:33But Preet Gill and John Slinger have urged colleagues to stand united as the turmoil
00:39in the party continues in Westminster and across the wider Labour movement.
