When Will Andy Burnham Become Prime Minister? | Explained

When could Andy Burnham become Prime Minister? Following Keir Starmer's resignation and Andy Burnham's rapid return to Parliament as the MP for Makerfield, speculation has intensified over when he could take over as Prime Minister. In this video, we look at the steps that still need to happen before Burnham can enter Number 10. With Labour leadership nominations opening on 9 July, no other candidates having declared their intention to run, and several senior figures already backing Burnham, he appears to be the clear favourite to succeed Starmer. If no challenger emerges, Burnham is expected to be confirmed as Labour leader on 17 July. Reports also suggest that Keir Starmer and his family could leave Downing Street during the summer recess, meaning Burnham could become Prime Minister within weeks, provided there are no last-minute surprises.
