Voice of the UK

Available for over a year

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has said it's up to Labour MPs to decide whether the party needs a change of leadership. He told the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ he had given "honest" answers to questions about Labour MPs privately urging him to challenge Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. The mayor said Labour MPs "were in touch" with him to discuss the leadership, but insisted he was not interested in a "personality contest". Burnham, who won a third term as Manchester mayor, said the Labour government needed a "proper plan for the country". 5 Live listeners share their thoughts with Nicky Campbell.
