Labour Party Leader Candidate Backs Andy Burnham for Top Job In a significant development, Labour leadership contender Wes Streeting's ally, Labour MP Stephen Carns, has expressed his support for Andy Burnham to take the helm of the party. Carns stated that a leadership contest was "not the best use of Labour's time" and urged the party to "get on board" with Burnham's bid for leadership. This move is seen as a significant blow to Streeting's chances of becoming Labour leader, as Carns' endorsement carries weight within the party. With the Labour leadership contest heating up, this latest development may signal a shift in momentum in favor of Burnham's campaign.
Carns's said a leadership contest was "not the best use of Labour's time" and "we need to get on board" with Burnham.
