Labour leadership up to the party, says Burnham

The article discusses Andy Burnham's views on the Labour party's leadership. Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, revealed that several Labour MPs have privately encouraged him to challenge Sir Keir Starmer for the party's leadership. However, Burnham stated that the decision on the Labour leadership should be left to the party itself, rather than being influenced by external pressure. He emphasized that he is currently focused on his role as mayor and has no immediate plans to run for the Labour leadership. The article suggests that there may be some internal tensions within the Labour party regarding the direction of the party and its leadership.
