Andy Burnham's buddies are saying Prime Minister Keir Starmer needs to whip up a power transfer plan by September to keep Labour's dreams alive for the mayoral showdown.

The race for his spot kicks off on July 30, with Labour revealing their candidate on June 26, while Reform UK and the Green Party are eyeing this Labour turf.
