Andy Burnham: 'King of the North' with Downing Street in his sights
AI Summary
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.
