UMVA has learned that a significant political maneuver is unfolding behind the scenes, with key figures reportedly preparing for a potential leadership challenge.
The Ashton-under-Lyne MP, while not explicitly declaring an intention to run, has made it clear she will not initiate a leadership contest herself, leaving the door ajar for others to step forward.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is also on the cusp of an announcement, indicating he has secured a House of Commons seat that would enable him to participate in any forthcoming contest.
Allies of Wes Streeting have further indicated that cabinet ministers are poised to visit Downing Street, intending to urge the Prime Minister to step down.
