The race to replace Keir Starmer starts now

Britain might be about to get another prime minister. Less than two years after winning a landslide majority, Keir Starmer is deeply unpopular and facing a revolt from his own Labour MPs.

Starmer’s biggest rival Andy Burnham. — the popular (now former) Greater Manchester mayor — has just won the Makerfield by-election and is now eligible to challenge Starmer for the Labour leadership, and the premiership of the United Kingdom.

POLITICO has handily mapped Burnham’s — or another rival’s — road to No. 10 Downing Street, along with the roadblocks that might keep Starmer in place.
