The Labour MP Karin Smyth was parliamentary private secretary to Heidi Alexander, who resigned as shadow health secretary yesterday. In a letter to party members in her constituency Smyth says she will not serve in the shadow health team anymore and that Jeremy Corbyn should stand down as leader.

This is from the Daily Mirror’s Jason Beattie.
The unknown factor is how many of those who voted for Corbyn have now turned against him. MPs say substantial number, Corbynistas disagree

And this is from my colleague John Harris.
Lab MPs can put someone else at the helm of Titanic. Truth: party now irrevocably split btwn (new) members & MPs & long, deep crisis peaking

The executive of the Conservative backbench 1922 committee will meet at lunchtime to discuss the rules and the timetable for the party’s leadership contest, the Press Association reports.
They are expected to mirror the system used the last time there was a vacancy in 2005 and will be formally adopted by the party board at a meeting tomorrow.
Graham Brady, the 1922 chairman, said the timetable was a matter for discussion but that there was “a desire to get things moving” as soon as was reasonable.
Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services union, which is not affiliated to Labour, has issued a message of support to Jeremy Corbyn. He said:
The most immediate and important thing we need is for Labour and the unions to lead a mass campaign against this racism and xenophobia to protect migrants, and to demand that housing, education, health and other public services are properly resourced.
I am appalled that instead of helping with this, some self-indulgent Labour MPs are looking inward, and turning on you and the party members and supporters who elected you in a landslide last September. I believe you are the best person to lead the Labour party through what is undoubtedly going to be a difficult period and you have my full support.
The cabinet has been meeting this morning. Here are some of the ministers arriving.
Wayne David has resigned as a shadow minister covering the Cabinet Office, Scotland and justice.
