British PM Keir Starmer faces pressure to resign from Labour Party members, with Andy Burnham emerging as a potential challenger. This unrest is fueled by declining government approval, economic struggles, and issues with public services.

Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, runs in the Makerfield byelection, potentially to challenge Keir Starmer for Labour leadership, advocating against London-centric politics.

A Labour NEC member opposes changing party rules to let Andy Burnham run for leadership without being an MP, warning it could lead to a lengthy contest and undesired leftward shift.
