Andy would be a decent leader I think

No way Starmer is beating Farage

Burnham would win a leadership contest for sure

This would be ideal for me.
I've always rated Andy Burnham.
I know he seems to rub some people up the wrong way even in his area, which I find surprising.
As I have always found him courteous, helpful and more to the point he listens.
Plus believes a lot in working with others too.

I voted for him as leader in 2015 when I was a member.
He would be one of my main ideal leaders for Labour, I'd certainly return if he was to challenge for the leadership.

However, he isn't an MP, he's not in parliament.
So unless he can win a by election, if any real opportunity arises, then this ain't going to happen unfortunately.
It would be really great for me though.

i can't stand either of them and labour would need to win a by election which is pretty unlikely in all but the safest seats. Also, it's next to impossible to get rid of a sitting labour PM

Yes he needs to become an MP,


PM Starmer will not let him, now.

Yes, but he must become an MP again,
first.

Andy Burnham has not ruled this fight out.

We need a by-election, for him to run.

He has tried twice, against J.Corbyn, before.


He would need 80 MP's to back him

I wonder if anyone in Manchester would be willing to step aside so he can run...

Over 400 MPs and the only alternative to Starmer they can find isn't even in Parliament :skull:

I don't think Burnham is as popular as he thinks he is. Very arrogant, self-important man

Andy Burnham is facing a backlash from dozens of Labour MPs over suggestions he could mount a challenge to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's leadership.

Burnham has criticised the Labour government in a series of interviews, and says he has been contacted by Labour MPs urging him to stand.

But the majority of Labour MPs who replied after being contacted by the BBC said they were against such a move.
