Starmer’s future on the line as Britain holds closely watched vote
Keir Starmer’s future is at stake in a special election in the Makerfield district of northwest England. Andy Burnham, mayor of Greater Manchester and Labour Party candidate, is the leading contender against a Reform UK candidate. A Labour victory would likely secure Burnham’s position as a potential future prime minister.
