Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has said the prospect of him challenging Sir Keir Starmer as Labour leader is “not my decision”, as he faced questions about his political ambitions.
Speaking to Radio Manchester’s Mike Sweeney in his weekly Hot Seat engagement, he said he had given “honest” answers to questions about Labour MPs privately urging him to challenge the prime minister.
He also said he had “no intention of abandoning” his work as the mayor, adding: “My head is here, I want everyone listening to the hot seat to know that.”
