Sir Keir will hold talks with the health secretary amid growing calls for the prime minister to step down, with four government ministers, including Home Office minister Jess Phillips, resigning on Tuesday. Politics Hub: Follow the latest from Westminster Six parliamentary private secretaries have also quit, while more than 80 of Sir Keir's own MPs have called for him to go after Labour lost almost 1,500 council seats in England in last week's local elections. In what was seen as a crucial cabinet meeting on Tuesday, the prime minister vowed to fight on, saying the UK "expects us to get on with governing" and "that is what I am doing". Mr Streeting is seen as a major contender in any potential leadership contest; however, allies of the cabinet minister have previously denied he is trying to launch a coup. Another mooted rival to the PM is Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham, but he would first need to become an MP via a by-election. Former Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman has called on Sir Keir to bring him into the fold. Britain at a 'pivotal moment' It is believed the health secretary wants to discuss the "turbulence gripping the party", but it is "not clear whether he's going to call on the prime minister to set out a timetable for his departure", Sky's political editor Beth Rigby reports. Rigby added that Mr Streeting is not likely to disclose anything discussed in the meeting before the King's Speech in the House of Lords, where Charles will announce plans for the government's proposed legislation over the next year. More than 35 bills and draft bills are expected to be unveiled, targeting the UK economy, energy and national security. Ahead of the speech, Sir Keir said that "Britain stands at a pivotal moment: to press ahead with a plan to build a stronger, fairer country or turn back to the chaos and instability of the past." The prime minister claimed the new legislation would focus on "cutting the cost of living, bringing down hospital waiting lists and keeping our country safe in an increasingly dangerous world". Support for Starmer Despite a growing list calling for him to resign, a number of allies are backing the prime minister. More than 100 backbench MPs and ministerial aides have put their name to a statement saying the Labour Party needs to focus on "working together to deliver the change the country needs", insisting that "this is no time for a leadership contest".

Mr Lammy said that "no one seems to have the names to stand up against Keir Starmer" and called on those calling for the PM to step down to "say which candidate would be better". He added: "It's been 24 hours now and nobody has come forward to put themselves forward in the processes that exist in the party. "Let's get on with the business of running this country and government." Trump: It's up to Starmer if he quits Meanwhile, when asked by Sky's US correspondent Mark Stone on Tuesday if Sir Keir should stay on as prime minister, Donald Trump said: "That's up to him." The US president reiterated his call for the UK to "open up the North Sea" and claimed the PM was "getting killed on windmilling your country to death". Mr Trump added: "You've got one of the great oil finds anywhere in the world, and you're not using it, and you're not allowed to use it, and it's one of the best in the world. "Open up your oil in the North Sea and get tough on immigration."

Noam Bettan performed his song Michelle without incident during the first semi-final on Tuesday night. He was given a mixed reception at the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria, with some of the audience shouting and booing during the song's quieter moments. After his song, the 28-year-old told the crowd: "Thank you so much." It comes after an interruption attempt during Israel's 2025 performance at Eurovision, when two protesters unsuccessfully attempted to storm the stage and throw paint during Yuval Raphael's song. Bettan, wearing a black leather outfit, performed inside a large golden diamond, surrounded by female dancers in black and white bodysuits and white boots. Several protests have reportedly taken place in the Austrian capital this week over Israel's inclusion in the song contest following the war in Gaza, with Ireland, Iceland, the Netherlands, Spain and Slovenia all boycotting the event. Israel's participation in last year's contest was followed by allegations that voting had been manipulated in Raphael's favour. The singer received the largest number of votes from the public at the 2025 event, held in Basel, Switzerland, in May, but ultimately finished as runner-up to Austria's entry after the jury votes were counted. Following the controversy, the European Broadcasting Union announced last November that it was changing its voting system, which includes clearer rules around the promotion of artists and their songs, the cap on audience voting being halved, the return of professional juries to semi-finals and enhanced security safeguards. How the contest's shaping up Portugal, Georgia, Montenegro, Estonia and San Marino were the five countries eliminated from the contest during the first semi-final, with Greece, Finland, Belgium, Sweden, Moldova, Serbia, Croatia, Lithuania and Poland progressing to the final alongside Israel. UK entrant Look Mum No Computer, whose real name is Sam Battle, said that people can "express their opinions" at the song contest.

They're allowed to wave whatever flags within the sizing rules and the flammability rules and stuff, so we've just got to get on with it." Battle is due to represent the UK at the second semi-final on Thursday.

West Ham were denied a 95th-minute equaliser on Sunday when referee Chris Kavanagh ruled out Callum Wilson's strike after VAR official Darren England recommended an on-field review. The call was labelled the biggest in VAR history in the Premier League by Sky Sports' Gary Neville, while West Ham were set to contact the PGMO to raise concerns that the decision was not "clear and obvious" given it took four minutes and 17 seconds between the ball crossing the line and a foul being awarded. Referees were told to crack down on grappling at set pieces this season and Webb has promised it will remain under the microscope. Got Sky? Watch Match Officials Mic'd Up LIVE on your phone📱No Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺Live Premier League table | Watch FREE PL highlightsDoes PL have clear and obvious problem with holding - and what can be done? Speaking on Match Officials Mic'd Up, Webb said: "We'll certainly continue consulting with stakeholders about the type of game they want to see because we have seen more involvement from set-piece coaches bringing players together in these areas, looking for those marginal gains. "We'll continue consulting, but certainly we need to be vigilant. We need to identify those clear actions that are impactful. "We've done better this year. We've penalised twice as many holding penalties as we did last year, but we've missed some as well. "We've missed some holding situations. Not like this, though, where the goalkeeper's arms are being interfered with. This is different and this is why this one is a clear offence." There were two minutes and 35 seconds between Wilson's strike going in and Kavanagh being sent to the monitor, where he then watched 17 replays before disallowing the goal. When the ball crossed the line, assistant referee Ian Hussin said: "I don't see any foul on the goalkeeper." VAR also had to consider potential fouls by Arsenal players Leandro Trossard on Pablo and Declan Rice on Konstantinos Mavropanos at the corner. "I don't like Trossard not facing the ball," said the assistant VAR Akil Howson as he analysed the incident in real time. "I agree, it's impactful [Pablo on Raya], it's just everything else that's going on as well. Let's say we're saying that's a foul, then what are we saying about Trossard's actions on the same player? What are we saying about Declan Rice behind?" England replied: "I think, for me, we send him (Kavanagh) for an on-field review to look at the possible foul on the goalkeeper. And then we get him to look at the other incidents as well. I think that's the best decision in terms of this." When Kavanagh was at the pitchside monitor, the referee said: "I can see the clear holding on him (Raya) across." Then, on the potential Trossard foul, he said: "I don't think there's much in that at all, I'm happy with that. That's nothing." Rice's grappling on Mavropanos was also highlighted by England. "But the foul happens on the goalkeeper before," he said and Kavanagh agreed. Webb said: "The most significant contact, undoubtedly, is that on the goalkeeper. "It stops him from doing something pretty routine of catching the ball, the arms across the neck, it's on his arm. He can't put his arms up and we've said that we'll penalise that. "And we've been consistent in that particular aspect. We're not just talking about the contacts of players coming together. Therefore, that one stands out quite clearly and it happens early in the sequence as well. "There's not something else that happens much before that that stands out either. When you look at that, that's clearly the clear and obvious offence that needs penalising." Webb believes VAR had to get involved and took their time due to the other potential offences involved. "Is it a foul on the goalkeeper? Categorically, yes," said Webb. "We've said all season, including in pre-season briefings with the players, that if a goalkeeper is impeded by an opponent grabbing or holding their arms and therefore they can't do their job, they'll be penalised. "We're not just talking about contact with goalkeepers, we're talking about a specific type of contact when the goalkeeper's arms or hands are being interfered with, stopping them from doing their job. "So, when you see the best angle on this, you'll see that that's what happens from Pablo. And on the video, it's clear and it's obvious, and it happens early. And even though it's not clear and obvious to the referee because he's got a huge sort of group of players in a penalty area and it's difficult to see, when the VAR sees this, of course they have to get involved. "But what we also hear the VAR doing is going through everything else because he wants to make sure that this is the only clear and obvious offence that needs intervening upon. "[It's] really impactful. Raya can't do what he would normally do in that situation, simply catch the ball or punch the ball and they intervene and they come to the right decision." Webb added: "A good use of VAR. It took some time. We have to take our time to get it right. In this really important situation, we did."

An aide to Kate described the two-day visit to Reggio Emilia, Italy, as a "really significant moment", having not undertaken an official foreign tour since 2022, when she went to Boston in the US for her husband's Earthshot Prize award ceremony. The future queen will be in the northern Italian city to promote her work with The Centre for Early Childhood and learn about the "Reggio Emilia approach" to early years development. The city pioneered the teaching method that has become recognised across the globe, stressing the importance of parents, educators and the environment in helping children grow. Early years support has been central to Kate's public work for more than a decade. She founded the Centre for Early Childhood in 2021 to raise awareness of the importance of early years' experiences and to commission research. She will be recognised for her efforts in Reggio Emilia with the Primo Tricolore, the city's highest honour. During a reception at its town hall, Kate will meet civic leaders and key figures behind the city's education philosophy and will later meet members of the public in the square outside.

She underwent chemotherapy and announced she was in remission in January 2025. Her aide said: "Undoubtedly, this is a huge moment for the princess. Although there will be many highlights of 2026, I think being her first official international visit post her recovery [...] is a really significant moment for her."

Look Mum No Computer, real name Sam Battle, will take the stage in Vienna, Austria, to perform his song Eins, Zwei, Drei in front of millions this week. Speaking to the Press Association ahead of the semi-finals, Battle said he was "really excited" to take part – but admitted it was "a lot of work" given he's just become a dad. He joked that if he were not gearing up for Vienna, he would be "probably changing my newborn baby's nappy". "I'm really proud of what we've pulled together and can't wait to put it into practice," Battle added. "Working with (choreographer Fredrik Rydman) has been brilliant; he's a really cool guy and has been pushing the boundaries of what we want to do up on that stage. "It's going to make for a really interesting live performance." Battle also promises a "mega synthesiser" built especially for his performance, although he added some of his plans did not come to fruition, as he did not think the BBC "trusted my welding". "I don't want to give it all away, so you'll have to tune in to see me when I perform on the Eurovision stage for the first time at Thursday's semi-final," he said. Who is Sam Battle? Since beginning his YouTube career in 2013, the Lincolnshire-born musician has amassed more than 85 million views and 1.4 million combined subscribers and followers across all social media platforms. Battle has become known for his videos about making and playing unusual electronic music equipment, having made an organ out of Furby toys, fused a synthesiser with a Raleigh Chopper bicycle, and made a triple oscillator synthesiser out of Nintendo Game Boy consoles. He has won the support of long-time Eurovision host Graham Norton, who told the BBC: "The song is different to anything else we've ever entered, and I can really imagine the whole arena getting behind it."

"Never say never," Norton joked, noting that the UK last won the coveted competition in 1997's Love Shine A Light by Katrina And The Waves. This year's edition of the song contest – the 70th anniversary – has seen controversy, though. Last year, Iceland, the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland and Slovenia all announced their withdrawal from Eurovision 2026 over Israel's participation in the competition. It came after a vote on whether members were happy with tougher new rules introduced in November – following claims of Israeli government "interference" in last year's contest. The majority agreed the changes were enough and Israel's place was confirmed. Israeli national broadcaster KAN described attempts to remove them as a "cultural boycott". Battle will represent the UK at the 70th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest this week, with the final set to take place at Vienna's Wiener Stadthalle on 16 May. The semi-finals will take place on 12 and 14 May.

Speaking on the Electoral Dysfunction podcast, Baroness Harman said Sir Keir should bring back the Greater Manchester mayor into his top team - after the PM previously blocked Mr Burnham from becoming an MP earlier this year. The prime minister is currently fighting to save his premiership, with more than 80 Labour MPs calling for him to go, while multiple junior ministers have resigned. Politics latest - follow live In a special episode of the podcast, the Labour peer told Sky News' political editor Beth Rigby that the potential leadership rival would help the prime minister to form "a team of all the talents". She said: "Andy Burnham, of course, can't be doing a coup at this point, or at least mounting a leadership challenge, because he's not an MP. And you can't challenge for the leadership of the Labour Party unless you're an MP. "But actually, if we're looking at having a team of all the talents when the country's facing terrible odds and the Labour Party has got a cloud hanging over it, clearly Andy is part of the solution to that. "And could it be that that Keir Starmer could say, 'actually, we need all the people in cabinet to be the very best people for the country. And that includes Andy Burnham. And I'm going to call him back in and he's going to be part of my government'." Read more:UK seizes thousands from US gangsterBorrowing coats hit decades-long high Members of the cabinet do not technically need to be MPs or peers, though convention dictates that this has almost always been the case in modern British political history. There have been examples of politicians who are members of neither the Lords nor the Commons attending cabinet, such as Gordon Walker in 1964. Civil servants and special advisers also routinely attend cabinet meetings - though they do not take part in discussions. Challenged on the idea of returning Mr Burnham to the cabinet, Baroness Harman responded: "Well, if he can construct a sense that the cabinet is there to support the prime minister to do the best for the country in very difficult circumstances, if he can really build that sense, then why on earth would he not have Andy Burnham as part of that? "He has got huge talents, [Sir Keir has] brought back Gordon Brown to add some help and some heft." She added that "nobody wants chaos", however at the moment "there's instability, but there's no endgame". Baroness Harman continued: "I just think that it's one thing having a big, internecine, factional contest when you're in opposition, but it's quite different when you're in government because you've got a job to do of running the country." She also warned that if Labour changes leader, it will lead to calls from opposition parties for a general election, causing "further instability". The peer explained that if Sir Keir was replaced: "Then Nigel Farage would say, 'yes, this election last week - it showed that the public want change. But they don't want change from Keir Starmer to Andy Burnham or Keir Starmer to West Streeting. They want change from Keir Starmer to Nigel Farage. They want me. So we must have a general election. This new person - you had no chance to have a say in choosing them. This is just the elites changing the people sitting in the top chairs'. "Therefore, he would be starting to call for a general election because you haven't had a say. So I think there would be further instability."

Managing Chelsea is still an attractive option for leading managers, but they are also aware that other jobs will be available this summer. Alonso's dream job would be managing Liverpool, but as things stand there is no vacancy at Anfield. Merson: Chelsea are in a mess - who would want the job?Chelsea 1-3 Nottm Forest - Report and highlightsChelsea news & transfers🔵 | FREE Chelsea highlights▶️ He wants to manage in the Premier League and - despite what you have heard or read - he would take the Chelsea job in the right circumstances. Liverpool fans are becoming increasingly frustrated with Arne Slot after a difficult and underwhelming season. Slot still retains the backing of Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group against the backdrop of the possibility of Alonso being ready for a return to management. Chelsea are still working through a list of about five or six names and contact has been made with representatives of the managers on their shortlist. Under their US owners, Chelsea have not got it right when it comes to appointing managers. They want to take their time before making an appointment and the new man must be someone experienced and someone with a proven record of success at the highest level of the game. Alonso is the outstanding candidate at the moment based on that criteria, but Chelsea are also considering candidates whose names are not in the public domain. The other candidates Sky Sports News know Chelsea are interested in are Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola and Fulham head coach Marco Silva. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner, Como's Cesc Fabregas and ex-Flamengo boss Felipe Luis are other names being considered. Carra: More difficult for Alonso to manage Liverpool if he joins Chelsea Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher on Monday Night Football: "I always felt Xabi would manage Liverpool at some stage. When you manage one of Liverpool's rivals, which Chelsea are, it makes it a little bit more difficult. "I don't see how you go from Chelsea to Liverpool, maybe a little bit down the road. But he has to do what's best for him right now. "There will be Liverpool supporters looking at the situation and saying he's the one they want. It's not a 50-50 split on Arne Slot any more. "People outside the club may look at that and not understand when he won the league last season and looks like he's going to get Champions League this season. But the drop-off has been so stark, and hasn't improved all season. "My worry with Liverpool and Arne Slot is whether he's going to be a bit like Erik ten Hag, have a great first season, a really poor second and then keep their job based on that first season. "Then you get to October or November and it's continued poorly, and you have to change the manager. That's a fear with Liverpool supporters, but it looks from what we're hearing that Arne Slot will be given another opportunity next season. "But there will be a feeling from a lot of Liverpool fans that Alonso is there, and if they wanted him he would come. "But it seems the club have made the decision on Slot, and it says a lot that Alonso is having talks with Chelsea because I think if he had an inkling that there might be a managerial change at Liverpool, I think he'd go there."
