British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stepped down on June 22, triggering a Labour Party leadership race. Andy Burnham, the former Greater Manchester mayor who recently won a by-election to return to Parliament, immediately announced his candidacy for party leader and therefore the premiership.

Conservative: Conservative-leaning outlets express skepticism about Burnham's prospects, warning that his leadership would fail to deliver meaningful change and predicting he will become as unpopular as Starmer, while questioning whether the enthusiasm for him masks deeper national problems.
