Andy Burnham will attempt to return to the Commons as an MP, after Wes Streeting resigned as health secretary, saying he had lost confidence in UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s leadership.
Burnham, the Greater Manchester mayor, said he would ask to run for Labour in Makerfield after Labour MP Josh Simons said he would resign to make way for him.
Any candidate in a Labour leadership contest to replace Starmer must be an MP.
Former Health Secretary Wes Streeting called for a broad debate about what comes next but did not say he would run for leader.
