Polling analysis: Andy Burnham may boost Labour but coalition is likely best outcome against Farage
By
Tim Ross
Summary
A POLITICO analysis of polling research from Public First examines whether replacing Keir Starmer with Andy Burnham as Labour leader could revive the party's fortunes against Nigel Farage's Reform UK. The poll suggests Burnham is Labour's best hope but would still likely only deliver a coalition government at most, not a majority. The article explores Burnham's appeal as a more authentic, working-class figure compared to Starmer, but notes significant structural challenges facing Labour regardless of leadership.
