Andy Burnham says he is 'excited' as he reveals if he is ready to succeed Keir Starmer as Prime Minister

Andy Burnham has revealed whether he is ready to succeed Keir Starmer as Prime Minister.

The man expected to next enter Downing Street told reporters he was “excited” after setting out his plan to revolutionise Westminster.


“I'm excited, actually, is what I am by the reaction that I've had to the speech that I made earlier this week. It's been really positive,” Mr Burnham said.

“I did set out quite a big plan for change. It feels like the country said, ‘yeah, okay, this feels like the right thing to do, the right direction.’

“That's certainly the reaction I've felt I've had,” he added.
