NEW: Gillingham and Rainham MP @naushabah_khan after resigning as PPS this week now comes out in full support of Team Streeting, telling me he 'has both the numbers and vision the country needs to stop another series of psycho dramas'
Folkestone and Hythe MP Tony Vaughn throws his weight behind Andy Burnham.
I have massive respect for Josh Simons’ @joshsimonsmp decision to resign, which I know will have been an incredibly difficult one. This by-election is an important opportunity for Andy Burnham to show how Labour can stop the march of the populist right and inspire people again.
Polly Billington in Thanet has said she won't comment on leadership race. So far one of the only Kent MPs not to show hand. Some not saying who they would support, but want a time table to declared to see all possible options.
Kent Labour MPs this evening: The loud backers of Starmer from earlier this week now saying they won't do press until Monday. Others now say they "Back the government" So far Mike Tapp is the only one to say publicly even if a leadership race is contested he'd still back PM
One of the lighter moments today....
As Black Rod knocked on the door, someone in the Commons shouted 'not now, Andy'
@susana_mendonca @BBCRadioLondon I remember when we got a wave as his Royal Highness went through....
Naushabah Khan MP for Gillingham and Rainham becomes the latest member of the government to resign as PPS. In her statement, she says she wants new leadership to deliver trust and a better future.
4 Labour MPs in Kent so far give Starmer their backing after the big speech. Only Folkestone's Tony Vaughn so far publicly saying change is needed.
@LeaderofKCC The leader of Medway Council @vincemaple tells the BBC "residents across Kent have been let down, today's news doesn't suprise me, the big suprise is he held on this long "
Leader of KCC @LeaderofKCC tells the BBC "Dave Hinton didn't have a plan, and now he has finally resigned, it took too long and was completely unacceptable...." On changes "I lost confidence in both Hinton and the board, I hope these changes deliver the transformation SeW needs"
Break: Dave Hinton the boss of South East Water has resigned.
