Andy Burnham plots swift Westminster return as Labour leadership speculation intensifies

Andy Burnham is planning a return to Westminster within weeks, with allies saying the Greater Manchester mayor has identified seats where MPs will step aside for his leadership bid. Burnham, blocked from running in February's Gorton and Denton byelection, is preparing a programme including proportional representation and a 10-year growth plan. Supporters claim he now has more than the 80 MPs needed to challenge Keir Starmer, hoping to avoid a formal contest by convincing the PM to stand down after May elections.
