‘Deeply grateful’: Andy Burnham close to becoming UK’s next leader
Andy Burnham has secured 322 nominations from Labour MPs to be the next party leader on day one of the leadership process. He is just one nomination away from securing enough so that no other candidate could secure enough backers to challenge him. “As the first day of nominations draws to a close, I am deeply grateful to the 322 Labour MPs who have put their trust in me and nominated me for Leader of the Labour Party,” Mr Burnham said in a post on social media. “Their support comes from across the PLP and reflects a shared belief that Britain needs a new approach to politics. “That is the circuit breaker I am offering: power out of Westminster, an economy rewired for ordinary people, and good growth in every postcode.”

‘Utterly baffling’: Burnham savaged for two previous rejections as Labour leader
Writer and Broadcaster Esther Krakue says Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has twice been rejected as Labour leader and questions why voters should back him now. “Andy Burnham's reputation as a messiah is utterly baffling,” Ms Krakue told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “Manchester is a city that’s in hundreds of millions of pounds worth of debt. “This is a man who was rejected not once but twice as Labour leader.
