Andy Burnham, 56, is an old and experienced leader of the Labor Party. He has been the former Mayor of Greater Manchester and along with being an MP, he has also served as a cabinet minister in previous Labor governments.

getting command in difficult times  

Burnham has inherited the party at a time when Labor is under siege on many fronts. The economy is sluggish, inflation and cost-of-living crisis persist, and public services are under pressure. The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are also having an impact on politics.

Labor is trailing the anti-immigration Reform UK party in recent surveys. This year the party also suffered a big loss in the local elections. After these shocks, Starmer had announced his resignation.

In the UK parliamentary system, the ruling party can change the Prime Minister without a general election. Following Starmer’s resignation, King Charles would invite Burnham to form a government. Burnham will be the seventh Prime Minister of Britain after 2016.
