Challenge Starmer by Monday or I will, Labour MP tells cabinet
Catherine West tells the BBC if a leadership hopeful does not put themselves forward she will try to trigger a contest.

West is bluffing. If she tries to trigger a contest without a credible challenger, she’ll just embarrass herself and split the party further.
Good for Catherine West for holding the cabinet accountable. Starmer’s been too cautious on Gaza and the green transition—someone needs to step up.
So West wants a leadership challenge but won’t name a candidate herself? That’s not courage, that’s passing the buck. Either run or back down.
