A second Labour MP has called for Sir Keir Starmer to step down only days after her colleague said he would sacrifice his seat so Andy Burnham could challenge for party leadership.
Nadia Whittome MP spoke to Labour Muslim Networth Chair Ali Milani on his podcast, saying she believes the party needs new leadership.
Clive Lewis MP earlier this week said he would consider sacrificing his Norwich South seat for the Greater Manchester Mayor.
Mr Milani asked Ms Whittome if it was time for change, with Ms Whittome saying, "I do".
"For a long time I said that we need a complete change of direction in the party, and that doesn't necessarily have to mean a new leader, as long as the current leader learns lessons," she said.
However, the Nottingham East MP said that she believed it was "clear we're way beyond that point now".
"I think there does have to be a new leader," she said.
Ms Whittome said that even if Sir Keir had a "radical change of direction" people would struggle to believe him.
"I don't think the people around him would allow that to happen, so I think there needs to be a change of leadership, a change of personnel in number 10 and a completely different direction for the party."

'I will always be respectful to journalists', says Keir Starmer after President Trump’s 'piggy' comment
Sir Keir Starmer has stressed the importance of respecting journalists after Donald Trump called a reporter "piggy."
Footage has emerged of the US president uttering the insult at journalist Catherine Lucey as he took questions on his relationship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein on Air Force One last week.
The Prime Minister declined to say whether Mr Trump’s comment was appropriate, but noted he would always behave respectfully towards members of the media.
Sir Keir told reporters travelling with him to the G20 summit in South Africa: "I haven’t actually seen that footage but I’ve had it explained to me.
"President Trump can speak for himself so I’m not going to speak for him, but my approach is that I will always be respectful to journalists, whatever questions they’re putting to me.
"I hope that I’ve demonstrated that over the times that you’ve all put questions to me. It’s really important to keep that principle of respect for journalists who are doing actually, a really important job, certainly in the UK and our democracy."

|GB NEWS
A top Tory minister has rushed to Boris Johnson's defence after a report on the Covid inquiry accused the ex-Prime Minister of running a "toxic, sexist and chaotic culture" during the pandemic.
Speaking to GB News, Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Alex Burghart declared he "doesn't recognise" the criticisms of Mr Johnson, despite the inquiry's findings.
Covid Inquiry Chair Baroness Heather Hallett said the former Prime Minister at times "actively encouraged" a toxic culture during peak periods of the pandemic, leaving Downing Street on the back foot in its attempts to deal with Covid efficiently.
She stated: "Mr Johnson reinforced a culture in which the loudest voices prevailed and the views of other colleagues, particularly women, often went ignored, to the detriment of good decision-making."

Nigel Farage is 'spineless' for failing to take action over Sarah Pochin's 'racist' TV ad outburst, Keir Starmer says
Nigel Farage was twice branded by Sir Keir Starmer as "spineless" for failing to take a stronger line over remarks about the proportion of black and Asian people in TV adverts by a Reform UK MP.
The Prime Minister also said that Mr Farage needed to explain allegedly racist remarks which The Guardian claimed he made as a schoolboy about a Jewish contemporary.
Mr Farage has denied allegations he had made antisemitic jibes at a fellow pupil at Dulwich College and taught younger pupils racist songs in the 1970s.
However, Sarah Pochin, Reform UK's MP for Runcorn & Helsby, sparked a separate race row after being forced to apologise for saying that "it drives me mad when I see adverts full of black people, full of Asian people".
Mrs Pochin said her comments were "phrased poorly" but insisted that many adverts are "unrepresentative of British society".
Mr Farage said at the time that he was "very angry" with her but added that he understood "the basic point".

The Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster has acknowledged that the Covid inquiry is "going to dredge up a lot of bad memories for a lot of people".
"Coming in to speak to you this morning ... thinking about the people that I know who didn't make it out of the pandemic and I know there will be a lot of your viewers thinking the same thing right now," Alex Burghart MP said.
"I think that this report is one way of looking at things."
Mr Burghart added that the inquiry "suggested that if the country had locked down sooner ... lives would have been saved".
"It also said that the scientific advice that was given to the Government at that point was telling the Government not lock down earlier," he said.
"I'm not blaming the scientists ... this is an establishment of the facts at the time."
The MP said he would like the inquiry to "look deeply at what ultimately the next Government will need to do" if there is a pandemic in the future.

Other Ukrainian concessions may see it giving up its long-range missiles and cutting military personnel in half.
"My focus has always been on a just a lasting peace," Sir Keir told reporters on his way to the G20 summit in Johannesburg, South Africa.
"That's why we have done so much work on the Coalition of the Willing.
