Parker Backs Burnham for Regional Power

West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker is backing Andy Burnham for Prime Minister, arguing that Burnham’s regional leadership experience makes him uniquely suited to deliver real power and funding to areas outside London. Parker sees Burnham as the key to Labour’s revival in the West Midlands, where recent losses in local elections have hurt the party’s standing. With Keir Starmer stepping down and Wes Streeting out, Parker believes Burnham’s blend of Westminster savvy and mayoral grit offers the best chance to shift decision-making away from the capital and toward communities that need it most.
