After Keir Starmer announced he is resigning as the British Prime Minister, the name of Andy Burnham has emerged as the top frontrunner to succeed him, multiple media outlets reported. Burnham is no stranger to Labour leadership contests, and more than 10 years ago, he ran twice, unsuccessfully, for the top job.
Andy Burnham returned to Parliament last week after winning the Makerfield by-election and is seen as one of the most recognisable figures of the Labour Party. His victory marks a return to the House of Commons after nearly a decade spent governing Greater Manchester as its mayor.
