Keir Starmer made the announcement of his resignation as Prime Minister this week, sparking a wave of reactions among Mirror readers. The 63-year-old Labour leader recently met with Andy Burnham in their first in-person interaction since Starmer’s resignation coincided with Burnham’s victory in the Makersfield by-election.
Former mayor of Greater Manchester for nine years, Andy Burnham, aged 56, has officially launched his leadership campaign and garnered support from figures like Wes Streeting. Mirror readers have been actively sharing their opinions on these developments and are encouraged to continue doing so through the website and by sending letters to the editor. A poll is available for readers to express their initial thoughts.
During today’s intense Prime Minister’s Questions session, Kemi Badenoch, unsympathetic towards Starmer, engaged in a heated exchange that included sharp remarks towards Labour members, including Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, described as a “spiteful class warrior.” Phillipson and DWP Secretary Liz Kendall confronted Badenoch after the session, with Kendall addressing the behavior.
Allegedly, Badenoch continued to criticize Phillipson even after the confrontation, with Phillipson responding that the public would eventually see Badenoch’s true nature. The opposition leader dismissed Burnham with a cutting comment, calling him “a pair of eyelashes and a black T-shirt,” while also criticizing Labour MPs who were perceived to have let down the Prime Minister.
