Keir Starmer stepped down from his role as Prime Minister this week, sparking a wave of responses from Mirror readers. The 63-year-old Labour leader recently met with Andy Burnham for the first time since Starmer’s resignation and Burnham’s victory in the Makersfield by-election.
Burnham, the former mayor of Greater Manchester, is now considered a strong candidate for the leadership position. His leadership campaign, endorsed by figures like Wes Streeting, has gained momentum since its launch. Mirror readers have actively shared their opinions on these developments and are encouraged to continue engaging through comments and letters to the editor.
During a tense Prime Minister’s Questions session, Kemi Badenoch displayed no sympathy towards Starmer, criticizing various Labour members including Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson. Phillipson and DWP Secretary Liz Kendall confronted Badenoch after the session, with Kendall addressing the behavior directly.
In a heated exchange, Badenoch reportedly accused Phillipson of being spiteful, prompting a retort from the Education Secretary. The opposition leader made harsh remarks about Burnham, referring to him as “a pair of eyelashes and a black T-shirt” while condemning Labour MPs who were seen as disloyal.
