Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has received approval from Labour's National Executive Committee to seek selection as the party's candidate in the upcoming Makerfield by-election. Burnham had previously been blocked from standing earlier this year. If successful in the by-election, which is likely to take place on 18 June, Burnham would return to Parliament and could potentially mount a challenge to replace Sir Keir Starmer as Labour leader. The Makerfield constituency became vacant following the resignation of Labour MP Josh Simons, who stepped down to make way for Burnham. Although traditionally a safe Labour seat, recent political shifts have seen Reform UK gain traction in the area, making the contest potentially challenging. Burnham emphasised his commitment to bringing the reforms he has implemented in Greater Manchester to a national level, stating he would not take any vote for granted. Leadership speculation continues within the Labour Party, with figures such as Wes Streeting and Angela Rayner considered potential contenders. The party cannot formally trigger a leadership contest until an MP with the support of 81 colleagues challenges the current leader. Meanwhile, the Conservative Party and Reform UK have indicated they will actively contest the by-election, and the Green Party hopes to capitalise on recent local successes. The political atmosphere remains tense following Labour's recent disappointing election results and calls for Sir Keir to step down.
Andy Burnham, Greater Manchester Mayor known for expansionary fiscal policies, receives Labour Party approval to run in Makerfield by-election, positioning himself to challenge PM Starmer with 43% odds of becoming next prime minister as UK gilts sell off sharply on market concerns over his fiscal stance.
