Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces a possible leadership challenge as the Greater Manchester mayoral by-election approaches. Starmer highlighted that if Andy Burnham wins the by-election, he would need to focus on holding the mayoralty, which would delay any leadership contest within the Labour Party.
Key Facts
