Who is Britain’s next prime minister? Sir Keir Starmer has resigned, and it’s all but certain that the new leader will be Andy Burnham. He’s been in politics since 2001 and has spent the past nine years serving as the mayor of Greater Manchester—a stint that’s made him popular with the Labour Party and the electorate. Find out why Mr Burnham might find Sir Keir a hard act to follow:

The cost of living should be the number one priority for Andy Burnham when he takes over as Labour leader on July 17, according to an exclusive poll for Good Morning Britain. Burnham has already signalled that providing extra support for people's pockets will be one of his key focuses in government, and hinted he may raise taxes for some and ask the public for a little more. #politics #andyburnham #labour

⁉️🗣NEW: 'Andy Burnham needs to be clear that Labour supports the Union, including Northern Ireland, and will protect our borders' 🎥🎤DUP Leader and MP Gavin Robinson on what he wants to see from Andy Burnham when he becomes Prime Minister next week. He says Sir Keir Starmer leaves an international legacy but, overall, 'left a lot to be desired.' Mr Robinson told Chief Reporter James that he wants Labour to make clear its support for the Union, including Northern Ireland, rather than focusing only on England, Scotland and Wales. Andy Burnham will promise to be "unashamedly Labour" when he officially becomes the party's leader later today. He is expected to say in a speech that his government will have the "courage to fix the big things that politics has neglected". Sir Keir Starmer has said he believes Labour can win the next election under Mr Burnham and that he is "proud to hand over the party in good shape" to his successor.

Andy Burnham is being tipped as the next prime minister - but do we know what he actually stands for? He won a landslide in the Makerfield constituency byelection - triggering Sir Keir Starmer’s resignation as Labour leader. Burnham has been involved in UK politics for decades. His popularity exploded after becoming Mayor of Greater Manchester, where his battles with Boris Johnson’s government over regional Covid lockdowns earned him his ‘King of the North’ title. His byelection victory, coupled with Starmer’s resignation, now opens a potential pathway from MP to PM after Burnham said he would “put myself forward” in the future Labour leadership process. But, while he has a vision to change the UK, it’s still unclear where the outgoing mayor stands on many of the world’s major issues. Watch the full episode of the breakdown on Channel 4 News' YouTube channel.

And there we have it. Tomorrow Andy Burnham will become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, having blazed a singular trail to No. 10 that avoided ever having to defend, let alone stand on the Labour manifesto of the 2024 general election. Already, the total unfitness of the man for high office is beginning to be noticed, with a particularly striking online meme comparing his cringe-Dad antics to those of David Brent. Just how quickly his twee and cloying bonhomie falls apart on contact with the realities of political power we'll find out from next week. For my guest this week, Michael Murphy , Burnham is an even more dangerous figure to put in charge of the country than Sir Keir Starmer. The two represent either side of the same coin: while Starmer's dour legalism represented the underlying mechanics of the British state in all its brute force (the man was never more at home than when clamping down furiously on dissenting speech), Burnham is the smiling, matey facade that that state presents to the public; the tie-less, "call me Andy" school teacher who sits on a chair backwards to explain how he "gets it". But while Starmer included in his team some people who did recognise the priorities of the British working class, for example Morgan McSweeney, Burnham has swept to power on the back of the worst instincts of the already spectacularly inept Parliamentary Labour Party; a gang of charity-sector charlatans so clueless about the real world that they'd be more at home in a playschool. We must prepare for a very rough couple of years with this man at the helm. The world is rapidly becoming more dangerous, Britain is exposed and our enemies know it. The one possible silver lining we can take is that when Andy Burnham fails, perhaps the public will finally realise that that failure will not just be his own, but the failure of the entire Labour Party.

Book the hearse and dig the grave, because Labour are already dead. They’re a spent force, getting heckled by the working-class voters they betrayed wherever they go. Andy Burnham can’t reverse their misfortunes. Starmer taints everything he touches, including Burnham’s bid to become MP for Makerfield in the upcoming by-election. Even if Burnham wins and becomes Prime Minister, he won’t reverse mass migration. There is no fiscal headroom for his infrastructure projects and plans to nationalise key industries. The IMF has warned that no more revenue can be raised from raising taxes, and that the bond markets Burnham would rather ignore are on the brink of insolvency. So I don’t buy the polling that says Burnham could win a majority at the next general election. If he enters government, he will be bound by the same fiscal constraints, working with the same system, and have a Cabinet full of the same inadequate Ministers as Starmer has. It doesn’t matter whether Wes Streeting, Angela Rayner, Burnham, Starmer, or Larry the Cat are holding the poisoned chalice in 2029. This will be the last Labour government. The battle now is for who succeeds them.

I was in Makerfield on a couple of occasions. I’m delighted Andy Burnham won the by-election and he will be a great MP and voice for Labour. Outside of Westminster, everyone I speak to cannot get their head around the idea of changing Prime Ministers now - especially after the Tory leadership chaos they voted for Keir Starmer and The Labour Party to draw a line under. It’s time to unite and get on with governing the country. 🇬🇧

Starmer is gone. Good riddance, and close the door behind you. But what followed should trouble anyone who still cares about democracy. After Labour’s disastrous local elections, we were told there would be a leadership contest. Contenders began jockeying for position. Then Labour manufactured a by-election to parachute Andy Burnham into Westminster. Even then, we were told it was merely the route into a proper contest. Funny how the other contenders stood down the moment Burnham was elected. Now he walks into No 10 uncontested. No hustings. No public debate. No detailed plan for change. More than 400 Labour MPs sit in Parliament, yet the party had to bring in the Mayor of Manchester because none of them had the confidence or support to lead the country. That is an indictment in itself. Burnham keeps promising change, but change from what, and towards what? A politician cannot be held to promises he has never clearly made. This is a coronation without scrutiny. Why are we simply standing back and watching it happen? More than 400 Labour MPs, yet the party had to manufacture a by-election and bring in Andy Burnham. What does that say about the parliamentary Labour Party? #AndyBurnham

Do we need a Secretary of State for Wales? Andy Burnham has just named a new Sec of State for Wales. Jo Stevens the previous one has resigned and has been replaced by Stephen Kinnock. But what is the Secretary of State for Wales? And should it even exist any more? So the Welsh secretary is supposed to be the “voice of Wales in cabinet”. The idea is that they can advocate for Wales inside the UK Government. But for a long time, it’s just as often been the voice of the UK government in Wales. Here is a bit of an explainer:

Some see Burnham as one of Labour's strongest political figures. Others believe his return would change absolutely nothing for ordinary Britons. IF BURNHAM RETURNS TO WESTMINSTER, WHAT DO YOU THINK HIS BIGGEST PRIORITY SHOULD BE? Immigration? The economy? Housing? Crime? The NHS? Something else?

🚨 LABOUR IS NOW IN FULL-BLOWN CIVIL WAR GB News reports Wes Streeting is expected to resign and launch a direct leadership challenge against Keir Starmer today. At the same time: • Angela Rayner has now been cleared by HMRC • Andy Burnham is reportedly manoeuvring for a return to Parliament • Labour MPs are openly turning on each other • Ministers are said to be “despairing” behind closed doors The party that promised to “end the chaos” now appears completely consumed by internal warfare. And the bigger problem for Labour is this: There is still no agreement on who should replace Starmer — or whether any replacement could actually recover public trust before the next election. Westminster is now entering one of the most unstable political periods in years.
