Starmer chairs first cabinet since Streeting resignation
YouGov found 47% of Labour members back Burnham for leader, while 59% would choose him over Starmer in a head-to-head contest.
- On Tuesday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will assemble his new-look Cabinet for the first time, insisting he will not "walk away" from Downing Street following health secretary Wes Streeting's resignation last week.
- Amid leadership speculation, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham intends to fight the Makerfield by-election, though supporters on Monday suggested he would not immediately seek a contest for the Prime Minister's job.
- Polling by YouGov suggests Burnham is Labour's preferred leadership candidate, with 47% naming him their first choice; 59% would back the mayor against the Prime Minister in a direct contest.
- Leeds MP Alex Sobel told LBC he expects Burnham to serve in the Government rather than trigger a contest, which would require backing from 81 Labour MPs to challenge the Prime Minister.
- Burnham has said a vote for him would be a vote to "Change Labour," while stating he is "not proposing that the UK considers rejoining" the bloc after appearing to row back on previous EU comments.
