Sad news. David was a brilliant journalist, who used his role to uphold standards in public life & seek justice for the voiceless. His campaigning support in recent years for the Waspi women was an example of journalism at its principled best. Condolences. theguardian.com/media/2026/jun…

They have no mandate for this. You can’t change the PM and the policy without public consent. #GeneralElectionNow

NEW: Liz Truss is no longer committed to defending the pensions triple lock, with PM’s official spox signalling it is up for renegotiation. This is despite 2019 manifesto pledge and PM saying at Tory party conference she remained “committed” to it.

Rishi Sunak has been crowned by Tory MPs. It’s a coronation not an election. All without saying a single word about what he’d do as Prime Minister to address this Tory crisis. He has no mandate and the British people have had no say. #GeneralElectionNow

I mean, once Burnham appoints someone, the unions will accept whoever he chooses.

A period where we know the current PM is going, but the incoming PM can't make decisions because they haven't *quite* got the job yet, leaves a vacuum that could easily be filled by destructive nonsense

This is becoming more hotly contested than the position of prime minister!

In less intense times: My good friend Lord Brennan of Canton must be wondering if Andy is putting the band back together. No heritage acts here though.

A contest would help Burnham. It would give him time to prepare, as he'd become PM in September rather than July. It would undermine, a bit, the argument he became PM with no mandate and without his ideas being tested - even though only Labour activists would get a vote

NEW: Am told "dozens" of Labour MPs are now pushing for a Darren Jones leadership bid, including some ministers. The number of MPs contacting him to urge him to run has continued to rise after Starmer's resignation speech this morning. The case from Jones allies is that Burnham

EXC: Labour MPs opposed to a coronation are rallying around Darren Jones to challenge Andy Burnham for the leadership An MP organising for him tells me: ‘Lots of people are pushing Darren to stand. There is real opposition to a coronation for someone who hasn't really said what he believes in or will do as PM’

Keir has given huge service to our country and I want to thank him for his leadership and dedication during such a challenging period. His decision marks the beginning of a transition and it is important that this process is conducted in an orderly and responsible way. I will put myself forward as part of this process. The country expects stability, seriousness and a continued focus on the issues that matter most and that is what it will get. As we move forward, our priority must be to work together to get the country back to where we all want it to be. People want to see progress on economic growth, cost of living, public services, housing and opportunities for the next generation. Political change should never distract from the responsibility to improve people's lives. The Labour movement has always been at its strongest when it looks forward with confidence and purpose. This is what we will do from here and we will make sure this transition is a positive process of renewal for our party and our country.

Andy Burnham's train arrives at Euston at 13.09, neatly timed for 1pm news. People may be reminded of Vladimir Lenin arriving at the Finland station in St Petersburg in 1917 from his exile in Switzerland. Lenin's arrival, of course, led to the Russia's October Revolution.

If I was Burnham I would want to be confirmed as leader as soon as possible. Wait until September and there is more time for the people who think you're being a bit disloyal and arrogant to organise something nasty.

MP backing Andy Burnham tells Today prog there is no need for him to set out his plans for governing, or face a vote, before becoming PM because "it's clear he's a very successful politician".
