Labour MPs privately urging me to challenge PM, says Burnham The self-styled King of the North, Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, has said MPs have been urging him to challenge the prime minister for Labour's crown.

The ‘King of the North’ appears to have his eyes on the Prime Minister’s throne. 👑

With the Labour Party Conference starting this weekend, it certainly makes for interesting timing…

Diogo Jota: Liverpool and Portugal footballer dies in car crash He was 28 and the father of three young children - and had got married just two weeks ago.
