Burnham-Rayner Alliance Eyed for Labour Leadership

0:00On April 27th, supporters of Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham are pushing Angela Rainer to team up with him in a leadership challenge against. Keir Starmer mirroring the old Blair Brown deal from the 90s. Burnham reportedly offered her any cabinet position she wants, plus a promise to step aside later so she could take over at number 10, all as she. Bax has bid to replace the current leader. They hashed this out in private talks at Rainer's local constituency home earlier this month, as whispers grow about a rough patch for labor. Rainer shut it down quick, with her allies saying she's got what it takes to lead on her own and won't play second fiddle to anyone. This comes ahead of the May 7th local elections, where big losses could spark calls for Starmer to quit by party conference in the fall though. Burnham's lack of a parliament seat keeps him on the outside looking in for now.
