- Sources close to the former deputy Labour leader say Rayner does not believe that the hugely-popular mayor of Greater Manchester has a “realistic chance” of becoming a MP before a leadership contest is triggered
- Allies of Rayner have convinced a number of MPs originally backing Burnham that she is the only candidate from the “soft left” that can replace Sir Keir Starmer if the starting gun on the race for 10 Downing Street is fired imminently.
The political maneuvering suggests a possible consolidation of power among the soft left, with implications for party unity and direction ahead of potential elections. Markets might pay attention to how this affects overall political stability in the UK, especially concerning policies that could influence economic decisions.
