“Supporters of Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham expect senior members of Keir Starmer’s cabinet to tell the UK prime minister to agree a handover of power in the coming days, in an attempt to make it impossible for him to continue in post,” Bloomberg reports.“Burnham is standing in a special election on Thursday that he’s expected to win, which would give him the Parliamentary seat he needs to bid for Starmer’s job. But Burnham would rather not directly launch a leadership challenge immediately after the by-election.”
