As Labour descends into renewed infighting over Brexit, leadership manoeuvring and the growing threat from Nigel Farage and Reform UK, Independent readers have been deeply divided over who should lead the party into the next general election.
Our poll has so far produced a tight race between Andy Burnham and Keir Starmer, with Burnham narrowly ahead on 44 per cent compared with Starmer’s 40 per cent. Wes Streeting trails on 10 per cent, while Angela Rayner has received 6 per cent of the vote.
