Burnham enters race for PM after Starmer

British MP Andy Burnham has announced his candidacy to succeed Keir Starmer as Labour Party leader following Starmer's resignation, with support from former Health Secretary Wes Streeting, who publicly endorsed Burnham. These developments come amid mounting pressure on Starmer over recent months, following the party's declining popularity and Burnham's victory in a crucial parliamentary election, which increases the likelihood of him leading the party in the upcoming elections. Nominations are expected to open on July 9, with the new leader set to assume office by September.
