## Resource

Andy Burnham is poised to become Labour’s next leader after Al Carns, a respected military veteran from Aberdeen, stepped aside, clearing the way for Burnham’s uncontested rise. Carns praised Burnham’s leadership in Manchester — especially during the pandemic and after the Arena attack — saying his local experience is perfectly suited for national leadership. Burnham is expected to be formally declared leader on July 17th and take over as prime minister just days later on July 20th, though he’ll still engage MPs in an online meeting to outline his vision. The path to power is now smooth — and Burnham is the only one in the race. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
