Burnham: 'It's not up to me, it's not my decision' on Starmer comments

In a recent interview, Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, was asked about his comments regarding Labour MPs' private requests for him to challenge the current Prime Minister. Burnham stated that the decision to challenge the Prime Minister is not up to him, and it is not his decision to make. He acknowledged that Labour MPs have reached out to him privately, but he emphasized that he is focused on his role as the mayor of Greater Manchester and does not have any plans to challenge the Prime Minister. Burnham's comments suggest that there is a perceived desire within the Labour party for a change in leadership, but he has chosen to remain committed to his current position and responsibilities.
