Starmer latest news: PM expected to announce resignation plan as Burnham heads to Westminster

Monday will see Andy Burnham return to Westminster following his victory in the Makerfield by-election. Labor MPs have been invited to a photocall with the former Manchester mayor to celebrate Mr Burnham’s massive victory over Reformation England.

Mr Burnham reportedly prefers to wait to become prime minister in September after the summer holidays rather than be crowned any time soon. Delaying handover will allow Sir Keir Starmer to ‘secure his legacy’, source says Independent.

As the prospect of Sir Keir Starmer’s resignation looms like a heat wave at the start of next week, there is one thing that strikes me more than anything else.

Gedling MP Michael Payne wrote in the Labor List on Sunday that replacing Sir Keir as prime minister would “risk distracting the government from the work of national renewal”.

He continued: “Whether or not you think it was a mistake to change the leader, Labour’s responsibility is to focus on serving the country that elected us to govern. “The British people elected a Labor government to govern, not to waste their time delving into the psychodrama of Westminster.
