Burnham Joins Race for Labour Leadership

Andy Burnham is officially launching his bid to become Labour’s next leader, riding high after a major win in the Makerfield by-election and stepping down as Mayor of Greater Manchester. With Keir Starmer announcing his departure, Burnham vows a smooth transition, prioritizing stability, economic recovery, and public services. He frames this leadership change as a moment of renewal — not upheaval — urging the party to focus on real issues that matter to everyday people and to keep driving progress for the next generation.
