Britain's Labour Party is looking to Andy Burnham as its next leader after Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned. Burnham's recent by-election victory has strengthened his position as Labour tries to stop the growing popularity of Nigel Farage's Reform UK. Reform UK has gained support by focusing on immigration and voter frustration over the economy and government policies. Labour has also faced criticism over internal disputes and policy decisions. Political observers say Burnham's biggest challenge will be winning back voters who have moved away from Labour and preventing Reform UK from expanding its influence across the country. (PC: HT)
