On April 19th, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham was spotted slipping out of Angela Rainer's constituency home late Friday night just days after. The pair campaigned alongside Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a feel-good photo op with school kids. Rainer is positioning as a top contender for labor leadership if Starmer faces a revolt after the party's rough patch in the May 7th local. Elections, even as she waits on an HM revenue and customs probe over taxes on her 800,000-pound holiday home far from her district. Burnham has his eyes on bigger things too, but Starmer already shut down his run for a Parliamentary seat earlier this year, leaving him sidelined as a sitting mayor. Labor insiders whisper the meet-up was about carving up power with Burnham potentially endorsing Rainer in exchange for a fast track back too. Parliament and Cabinet, though allies flat out deny any leadership plotting. Pressure is mounting on Starmer from scandals like the Mandelson security vetting mess and Liberal Democrat boss Ed Davie is urging Labor MPs to.
Ditch him before Nigra Farage capitalizes on the chaos.
