Andy Burnham was once seen as Labour's nearly man. After losing two Labour leadership contests and leaving Westminster politics behind, many thought his chances of ever reaching the top were over. But as Mayor of Greater Manchester, Burnham rebuilt his reputation, becoming one of Britain's most popular politicians and earning national attention for taking on Westminster during the Covid pandemic. Now, after winning the Makerfield by-election and returning to Parliament for the first time in almost a decade, speculation about his future has exploded. Could Andy Burnham become Labour's next leader? And if he can fix Manchester, could he one day fix Britain? In this video, we examine Burnham's political comeback, his record as Mayor of Greater Manchester, and whether he has what it takes to lead the country. #AndyBurnham #Labour #UKPolitics #KeirStarmer #Manchester #BritishPolitics #Politics Subscribe to stay informed: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ondemandnews Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ondemandnewsofficial Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ODN/ If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/
