Sir Keir Starmer has seen two more aides leave Downing Street in another major blow for the Prime Minister.
Muneera Lula and Carys Roberts have both quit as policy advisers to the Prime Minister, it has been revealed.
Their exits are the latest in a series of departures from No10 as Sir Keir scrambled to steady his "deeply troubled" administration.
Ms Lula had been one of Sir Keir's longest-serving policy advisers since she was taken from Angela Rayner's office in 2022.
She was behind No10 policies on a series of issues such as: equality, women, media, sport and culture.
Ms Roberts entered Downing Street following Labour's landslide victory in the general election last year.
She previously served as executive director of the IPPR think tank before being responsible for energy and climate policies at No10.
She has since left Downing Street in a damning blow to Sir Keir.

It is understood that former Treasury civil servant, John Bachelor, has stepped in to No10's unit as part of a major reshuffle.
Downing Street's policy unit is being restructured into three Government "priorities" - the economy, public service and immigration, according to The Times.
Just last month, Sir Keir waved goodbye to his director of communications, Steph Driver.
Her exit came shortly after No10 strategic communications director James Lyons announced he was leaving.
In March, Sir Keir's previous director of communications, Matthew Doyle, stepped down.
Tim Allen stepped into the role as executive director of communications at No10, having previously been a former aide to Sir Tony Blair.
At the beginning of the month, Sir Keir launched a major reshuffle, appointing David Lammy as his new interim Deputy Prime Minister following the resignation of Ms Rayner.
Yvette Cooper moved to Foreign Secretary, Shabana Mahmood took her position as Home Secretary, and Mr Lammy assumed the role of Justice Secretary.
