Burnham by-election win pressures Starmer

Andy Burnham's decisive Makerfield by-election victory, where he won nearly 55% of the vote, has intensified pressure on Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer. Burnham's return to Westminster signals a potential leadership challenge as multiple cabinet members urge Starmer to set a departure timeline. Prime Minister Starmer has called for party unity but faces growing calls to step down amid internal Labour turmoil.
