Summary
A special election in the UK could hasten the rise of Andy Burnham and the end for Keir Starmer. Two weeks ago, during a special Makerfield edition of the BBC’s Question Time, he confirmed the worst kept secret in politics by admitting he will join any leadership contest to replace Keir Starmer in No.10. Keir Starmer isn’t on the ballot, but the U.K. prime minister’s future is on the line in a special election on June 18.
Furthermore, But before any such contest unfolds, Burnham must win a seat in parliament, which he is hoping to do on June 18 in a by-election in the Makerfield constituency. FRANCE 24's Benedicte Paviot explains why. Anything above 7% will suggest that Farage is facing a growing challenge on his right flank, in much the same way as he inflicted huge damage on the Tories when he himself was leader of Ukip.
In addition, An apparently well-placed source in his team says they are preparing to launch an “immediate leadership challenge” against Keir Starmer on Friday morning, while another briefs that Burnham will hold off – but only for 72 hours because they dare not risk losing momentum. According to every opinion poll which has been published during the month-long by-election campaign, Burnham is on course to win.
