"They believe they are in a place that Burnham will be comfortable with" ie still in Manchester

[Tom Scotson @_tomscotson]

State of play from Andy Burnham allies

They believe they are in a place that Burnham will be comfortable with.

He doesn't want to be seen as pushing Starmer out in an undignified way.

In addition they think allies of Streeting are trying to rush a quick leadership contest, which would not suit their interest

But but but they believe in the process he has damaged his relationships with his allies

One staunch Streeting ally told me he needs to get on with it.

Streeting as ever he will be fearful of the old adage 'he who wields the knife never wears the crown'

The health sec has the benefit of having strong relationships with the PLP and being in Parliament.

All to play for
