Keir Starmer resignation LIVE: Prime Minister on brink as Andy Burnham heads to Westminster
Andy Burnham remains committed to an orderly transition of power in early September, despite growing expectations that Sir Keir could announce a timetable for his resignation as early as today, a senior source has told the Manchester Evening News.
The MEN understands a handover in early September is the preferred option, with Mr Burnham expected to meet Labour MPs over the coming weeks as the party maps out its next steps.
It is understood Burnham’s team would like time to work with civil servants ahead of a transfer of power.
Regardless of their wishes much will depend on what Sir Keir Starmer decides.
