British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will chair a cabinet meeting after surviving renewed calls for his resignation from members of his own party.
The routine meeting comes a day after his top ministers rallied round him despite Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar urging him to step down amid the fallout from the Peter Mandelson controversy.
Mr Sarwar became the most senior Labour figure to call for Mr Starmer to go, citing concern that the "distraction" from Downing Street would harm his party's chances of unseating the SNP in May's Holyrood elections.
But, backed by his cabinet, Mr Starmer issued a defiant response at yesterday evening's meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party, telling a packed room in Westminster: "I've won every fight I've ever been in."
He said he was "not prepared to walk away" as he received a warm reception from MPs reluctant to join Mr Sarwar in calling for him to quit.
The lack of a concerted effort by MPs to depose Mr Starmer suggests the immediate danger may have passed.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, writing in the Daily Telegraph, said Mr Starmer should resign as he had "proved incapable of doing the things a prime minister needs to do".
Meanwhile, Mr Starmer is expected to continue reshaping his Downing Street operation, after telling MPs he wanted to be more "open and inclusive".
He has already promoted senior aides Vidhya Alakeson and Jill Cuthbertson to be joint acting chiefs of staff, after the departure of Morgan McSweeney over the weekend.
Mr Starmer will also need to appoint a new communications chief after the resignation of Tim Allan yesterday, while the Guardian reported that the UK's top civil servant, cabinet secretary Chris Wormald, was expected to leave his job in the coming days.
With the threat to his position appearing to recede, Mr Starmer is expected to travel to Germany at the end of the week to attend the Munich Security Conference, where concern about the future of the transatlantic alliance is likely to be high on the agenda.
