Wes Streeting has been to Downing Street for crunch talks that lasted less than 20 minutes this morning as the Prime Minister continues to fend off calls to resign. The talks with Mr Streeting, seen as one of the key rivals for the Labour leadership, come after Sir Keir has so far managed to see off an immediate threat this week despite ministerial resignations and at least 80 MPs calling for him to quit.
