## Resource

Andy Burnham, mayor of Greater Manchester, is eyeing a return to Westminster with a bold promise: he’ll prioritize rebuilding the UK-Ireland relationship damaged by Brexit. Drawing on his Irish heritage and past collaborations with Irish officials—including a warm pint at a Dublin pub—he’s positioning himself as the candidate who can heal ties without seeking EU re-entry. Running in a key byelection, he’s polling strongly and aims to challenge for Labour leadership if elected, while also highlighting the economic upside of closer European ties—without alienating voters in constituencies like Makerfield.
