Andy Burnham's Makerfield win fuels calls for Starmer's resignation
Mayor Andy Burnham secured the Makerfield parliamentary seat in a by-election, positioning himself as a potential challenger to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, AP News reported. His victory sparked speculation about a leadership bid, while Starmer vowed to resist any contest, the New York Times noted. Later, AP News quoted Burnham saying he would contest Starmer’s leadership, and Starmer affirmed he would remain in the race.
BBC reported that Labour sources said a growing number of MPs were urging a leadership contest and questioning Starmer’s continued tenure. The BBC added that these statements have heightened internal tension within the party.
