Andy Burnham Allies Confident of Leadership Coronation After By-election Victory
Andy Burnham's allies are increasingly confident of a leadership "coronation" after his by-election win, with numbers backing his bid surging past 300 MPs. This surge could complicate a challenge from Wes Streeting, though some MPs want Burnham to face a full contest to scrutinize his ideas. The Labour party rules require 81 MPs for a contest, and Starmer has stated he will fight any challenge.
