At least two senior Labour MPs are considering launching leadership bids to prevent Andy Burnham becoming prime minister without a formal contest.
Former defence minister Al Carns has said he is weighing up whether to run, while Sir Keir Starmer's Chief Secretary, Darren Jones, has also not ruled out a challenge, BBC News understands.
Labour MPs increasingly believe Burnham could become prime minister as early as 17 July - the day after nominations for the new leader close - after Sir Keir announced his resignation on Monday.
However, a large contingent are uncomfortable with the idea of a leader whose policy ideas have not been tested in a leadership race.
Some MPs are urging Jones - a close ally of Sir Keir - to stand. It is considered unlikely but Jones is understood not to have ruled it out.
Carns - who was the armed forces minister until he resigned earlier this month over defence spending - also indicated he was interested in a tilt at the top job.
"I'm not ready to make a decision on this in any way shape or form," he told ITV's Peston on Monday night.
"What I would say is we need to move from the politics which talk through the tactics and think about the strategy and what I'm really looking for are big objective outcomes that we want to get to in 2029 and 2034/35".

If I read this correctly, if more than 1 person throws their hat in the ring, they have to have some sort of election?
That would be OUTSTANDING. The globalists would cheat, but maybe it would stir up enough people to get something done.
Fighting over the lifeboats?
Too bad Jeremy Corbyn is no longer a member of the Labour Party. The Globalists wouldn’t allow him to be the PM anyway, he’s too much of a “clown”.
