## Resource

Andy Burnham’s triumphant return to Parliament after winning the Makerfield by-election sent shockwaves through Westminster — greeted by a sea of Labour MPs, rivals included, all eager for a photo op. Seen as a potential next Labour leader, his swearing-in marks a pivotal moment, especially with Keir Starmer stepping down and no clear successor emerging. Despite protests outside and a cheeky MP’s Monty Python jab inside, Burnham’s cool response and emotional farewell from his Greater Manchester mayoral days underscore his readiness for national leadership. His late train arrival and media frenzy contrast sharply with his “King of the North” days — a meteoric rise back to the heart of power.
