Aha, step one in the Burnham Ascendancy:

A sitting MP offers to stand-down to allow Andy Burnham to contest the (safe) seat & get into Parliament.... [tick]

(Clive Lewis in the MP in question who has offered to give up his seat).

Leading to step two: Newly elected MP challenges Keir Starmer for leadership of the Party.... well, first step one needs to be completed of course!
