Summary
Downing Street told the BBC that Keir Starmer has not spoken to Donald Trump this weekend, directly rebutting speculation after Trump's online intervention.
Trump wrote on social media that Starmer "will resign" as UK prime minister, though it remains unclear whether he had any specific basis for the claim.
Friday was Starmer's last public appearance; he said then that he would fight any challenge to his leadership and has not been seen publicly since.
The White House has been asked for comment as questions grow over whether Trump's post reflected inside information or simply echoed wider media speculation.
