Summary
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has stated he will fight to keep his job and run in a leadership contest if one is triggered, following a challenge from Andy Burnham, the popular mayor of Greater Manchester. Burnham won a special election for a parliamentary seat and is signaling his intention to challenge Starmer for leadership of the Labour Party and the country. Burnham, who has led Manchester since 2017 and overseen its regeneration, is pledging to replicate his local successes on a national scale. Some Labour colleagues are urging Starmer to step down, though he insists he was elected on a "mandate for change" and will not walk away.
