But not everyone’s on board: some Labour figures insist leadership challenges need proper debate and scrutiny. Meanwhile, Wes Streeting is also in the mix, expected to meet Burnham this weekend, and is holding off to let the current leader weigh his options. With Labour’s rules requiring 81 MPs plus branch and union support to challenge, and Keir Starmer refusing to step aside unless pressured, the party’s future hinges on whether Burnham can pull it off — or if Streeting will step up to claim his moment.
