Starmer Endorses Burnham for Succession | Manchester News

Keir Starmer is stepping down — but he’s leaving Labour in strong shape, ready to win the next election. He’s openly supportive of frontrunner Andy Burnham, praising their decades-long partnership from shadow cabinet days to major projects like Northern Powerhouse Rail and even their swift collaboration after a synagogue attack. Starmer admits he likes Burnham — even if they disagree on football — and vows to offer only requested advice, staying behind the scenes. He highlights his government’s key wins: tackling antisemitism, stabilizing the economy, and securing a 2024 victory. Burnham, meanwhile, promises continued support for Ukraine and stronger ties with the EU — and no early election. Starmer’s exit was unplanned, but he’s confident his legacy sets up Burnham for success.
