Andy Burnham could be leader in weeks under Labour timetable

Labour’s ruling body has set out the timetable for electing a new party leader which could see Sir Keir Starmer’s replacement installed as early as 17 July.

The schedule means Andy Burnham could take over from Sir Keir Starmer in less than a month, if he continues to be the only MP to enter the race.

Potential candidates have until 15 July to collect the backing of 81 MPs and until 16 July to gather the required number of nominations from affiliated bodies such as trade unions, in order to stay in the contest.

If more than one MP is able to garner enough support to progress to the next stage, a ballot of Labour party members and affiliated supporters would take place between 6 and 27 August.

The final result would be announced on 29 August.
