Andy Burnham says Labour MPs want him to oust Starmer

Andy Burnham warns Labour faces an existential threat and advocates radical policies including wealth taxes and nationalisation to restore party unity and electoral success.

  • Andy Burnham has claimed that Labour MPs are privately urging him to challenge Keir Starmer for the leadership, as he unveiled his "plan to turn the country around".
  • Burnham said he is "ready to play any role", including working with the Liberal Democrats and Jeremy Corbyn, because "the threat we're facing is increasingly an existential one".
  • In a criticism of Starmer, Burnham said Number 10 had created a "climate of fear" among MPs and "alienation and demoralisation" within the party.
