Basically, if there isn't some exigent circumstance like the PM dies in office or becomes a raging demented alcoholic, they are removed by order of the monarch. The monarch typically orders the PM to "meet with me" and they have a closed door meeting, during which the PM gracefully resigns, but there are no hard rules that require it. Look how easy they went on BoJo

Keir Starmer has told close friends he intends to stand down as Prime Minister and set out an orderly timetable for his departure.

A member of the Cabinet told me late yesterday afternoon: 'Keir understands the political reality.

'He realises the current chaos is unsustainable. He simply wants to be able to do it in a dignified way and in a manner of his own choosing. He will set out a timetable.'

According to another Cabinet source, it is still unclear precisely when that announcement will be made. Some senior Starmer allies have been urging him to hold off making any statement until the first polls and canvassing data is returned from the Makerfield by-election.

'Morgan McSweeney [the PM's former chief of staff] has been urging him to hang on. He's arguing if they show a tight contest or that Andy is on course to lose, then there is still a chance,' the minister claimed.

But one of the Prime Minister's Cabinet supporters told me: 'He's not going to take the risk of waiting for the result of the by-election. That would be too much of a personal humiliation. If he waits and then Burnham wins, it looks as if he's driven him out of office.'

Ironically, the announcement from Sir Keir could potentially undermine the Manchester mayor's bid to return to Westminster. According to one senior ally, the preference within the Burnham camp is for Starmer not to make any pronouncement prior to the poll in Makerfield on June 18. 'It is a much cleaner contest if Keir Starmer is on the ballot. Andy needs to be able to say, 'If you vote for me I will go down to Westminster and drag him out of Downing Street for you.'

A spokesman for the Burnham team stated they were 'relaxed' about whether Sir Keir announces a timetable. 'That's a matter for the PM. We're concentrating on making Andy's case for selection as the candidate for Makerfield.'

But another Burnham ally told me: 'We don't want the message to get complicated. It's far simpler if we're in a position to say, 'You're frustrated by the pace of change. Vote for Andy and you'll see an immediate change at No 10'.'

Throughout the week, Starmer's mood – and the mood among his key advisers – has fluctuated wildly. On Monday evening, as a wave of resignations from junior ministers rocked the Government, the Prime Minister started to recognise he would need to bow to the inevitable.
