Who is Andy Burnham? The man expected to replace Starmer as prime minister

Andy Burnham is increasingly being mentioned as one of the leading candidates for the leadership of the Labour Party in Britain, following the resignation of Keir Starmer, and is also considered one of the potential names for the position of the country's next prime minister.

His positions have been strengthened after the recent victory in the by-election in Makerfield, a result that has raised expectations for his return to national politics.

Andy Burnham is not a new figure in the Labour leadership race. He has run for party leadership twice before, but was defeated first by Ed Miliband and then by Jeremy Corbyn.

Despite this, in recent years he has built a strong political profile outside Westminster, becoming one of the most popular figures on the British left.

One of the themes that has most strongly identified his career is his commitment to justice for the victims of the Hillsborough disaster. As a former Culture Secretary and then Shadow Home Secretary, Burnham has been one of the strongest voices in support of the families of the victims, winning widespread public acclaim.

He has served as mayor of Manchester since 2017, increasing his political influence in the north of England. He was dubbed the “King of the North” during the clash with central government over funding during the Covid-19 pandemic, and has also promoted major infrastructure projects, including the integrated public transport network “Bee Network”.

Although he enjoys high popularity at the regional level and has been successful in local elections, it remains unclear whether Burnham will be able to turn this support into a victory for the leadership of the Labour Party and further in the race for prime minister. In political circles in London, he is currently seen as one of the most serious contenders to succeed Starmer at the head of the party.
