Overview
- Survation’s poll for LabourList of 1,013 members shows Andy Burnham leading Keir Starmer 58–32, Angela Rayner 52–33, Ed Miliband 44–40 and Wes Streeting 33–31 in head-to-head matchups.
- Fifty-four percent of members say a new Labour leader should be in place before the next general election.
- Speaking at the G20, Starmer said he “absolutely” wants Rayner back in his top team and described staying in regular contact with her.
- Party rules mean Burnham would need to re-enter Westminster to run, with MP Clive Lewis offering to vacate his seat to enable a return.
- Internal tensions persist with reports of Downing Street‑sourced briefings about a Streeting plot, and Green leader Zack Polanski said he is tempted to challenge Starmer in Holborn and St Pancras.
