Andy Burnham, who recently won the Makerfield by-election, is reportedly backed by a majority of Labour MPs to challenge for the leadership. The Sunday Times suggests that if Burnham takes over, Rachel Reeves would be sacked as chancellor. Meanwhile, the Observer headlines that Starmer "accepts his position is no longer tenable."
