Currently Starmer is facing leadership challenges from both the right and left of the party over his handling of the country and inner party politics
Right now Andy Burnham has generally been polled as the most popular figure in Labour by voters and MPs, particularly to lead Labour. Andy has a record of winning over blue areas twice running as the Manny mayor and working with the right and left of the Labour party
In order for him to run, he has to be allowed to run by the NEC in Makesfield, an area which reform won in the council elections, two hurdles to get past in order to be an MP
If Andy does become an MP, its highly likely he will walk into No 10 and lead the Labour Party

Damn I’ve been reading about Starmer’s troubles but I didn’t know the end of his tenure was imminent!
Lol if they allow him Farage will throw the kitchen sink at that seat. Imagine the embarrassment if an MP stands down on purpose and then they blow it
Yeah
Mackerfield will be a serious test for Burnham, it’s a very vulnerable seat against Reform, it’s whiter, older, less educated, more homeowning, and slightly wealthier than the Greater Manchester average.
I’m okay with this. There would be safer seats to try for in the Greater Manchester area, but Burnham should have to prove his viability as a candidate.
