Starmer’s Warning To Andy Burnham
6/17/202632 min
Today, Keir Starmer returns home from the G7 with a warning to Andy Burnham not to rush into triggering a leadership contest if he wins in Makerfield tomorrow.
In an interview with Chris, the Prime Minister said that a leadership contest would be bad for the country but reaffirmed his intention to fight any challenges to his leadership.
Tomorrow’s by-election in Makerfield still stands in the way of any move Burnham could make to trigger a by-election. Alex is there on the ground and brings us the latest from Burnham’s competitors, including Robert Kenyon of Reform UK.
Adam, Chris and Alex discuss what it all means.
