Wes Streeting is one of the Labour leadership favourites - but he could lose his own seat in a general election.

For @LBC, we asked some of his constituents in Ilford North whether he should run for leader.

The response was lukewarm.

Kemi Badenoch calls on Labour MPs to speak to her to call a vote of confidence in the PM - tells @LBC @JosephDraper5

"The Prime Minister is in office, not in power. If he can't do the job, then he should step aside and let someone else do it.

"I have said it's a matter of when, not if. When, I don't know. That is up to Labour MPs. I made an offer to them last week. If they want to hold a confidence vote, they should come to my whip’s office. I'm the only person who can trigger that as Leader of the Opposition. But the big issue is that the country is not being governed."

[LBC @LBC]

"...Are you actively talking to European leaders about those numbers?"

Zelenskyy ally Ihor Brusylo tells @ShelaghFogarty that Ukraine needs 1.2 million European troops to help fight Russia.
