Can Andy Burnham DEFEAT Nigel Farage?

Andy Burnham is the favourite to replace Keir Starmer as the new UK Prime Minister after he resigned. Despite winning a landslide victory less than two years ago, Labour has been trailing Nigel Farage's Reform UK in the polls for months. Starmer's policy U-turns, falling popularity and decision to appoint Epstein-linked Peter Mandelson as UK Ambassador to the US all contributed to his downfall. Labour MPs are putting their faith in former Mayor of Manchester Burnham to turn the party around. He could be in place in a matter of weeks as no other candidate has come forward to challenge him for the leadership. Will Burnham be able to solve the UK’s problems and beat Nigel Farage at the next general election?
