“Spat Out My Tea!” | Burnham Mocked as ‘Labour’s First Woman Leader’ Over Female-Heavy Team

.

Andy Burnham could become Prime Minister as early as July 20 if no rival manages to enter the Labour leadership race. The new Makerfield MP is currently the only declared candidate to replace Keir Starmer, and if that does not change he could be formally declared leader next month before taking over in Downing Street days later. Burnham is already weighing up key Cabinet appointments, with pressure building over who would replace Rachel Reeves as Chancellor. The speed of the possible handover underlines how quickly Labour is trying to move on from Starmer’s resignation and install a new government before the summer is out.
