It’s over. Sir Keir Starmer has finally done the deed and quit. After years spent berating the Tories for constantly changing leader, fighting among themselves and looking inwards, Labour has succumbed to the same fate in less than two years. The path now looks clear for Andy Burnham to descend on Westminster and triumphantly assume the Labour leadership at the third time of asking. So what happens next? Will anyone contest Burnham’s bid to become prime minister? And will he be able to resist calls for a general election? Megan McElroy speaks to Tim Shipman and Noa Hoffman.
