Poll: UK voters wanted Starmer gone, but not an immediate Burnham coronation

A POLITICO Poll shows UK voters want Prime Minister Keir Starmer gone but are divided on immediately elevating Andy Burnham as his replacement. While Burnham is the clear front-runner to lead Labour after Starmer's resignation, 54% of adults prefer a leadership contest over an immediate coronation, with only 20% supporting Burnham becoming Labour leader immediately after winning the Makerfield by-election.
