Jess Phillips has resigned from the Government as the pressure on Sir Keir Starmer continues to rise.

The Safeguarding Minister wrote: "Labour governments come around rarely is the constant refrain at the moment. It's true they are precious.

"Every Labour government in my and my family's lifetime has forged progress that changed our country and the world for the better. I know you care deeply, but deeds, not words are what matter.

The Birmingham Yardley MP and former Labour leadership candidate said: "I'm not sure we are grasping this rare opportunity with the gusto that's needed and I cannot keep waiting around for a crisis to push for faster progress."

She added: "I cannot continue to serve as a minister under this current leadership."

It follows the resignation of housing, communities and local government minister Miatta Fahnbulleh earlier today.

The Peckham MP told the Prime Minister "to do the right thing for the country and the party, and set a timetable for an orderly transition" as the public had lost trust in him because of issues such as the scrapping of the winter fuel payment.

Ms Fahnbulleh is seen as a close ally of Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, who reportedly told Sir Keir to consider stepping down last week.
