POLL OF THE DAY: Should Keir Starmer resign if Andy Burnham wins the Makerfield by-election?

Published: 12:07, 17 June 2026 | Updated: 12:23, 17 June 2026 Andy Burnham plans to give Sir Keir Starmer one final chance to 'do the decent thing' and resign before orchestrating a move to remove him from Downing Street. The Greater Manchester mayor is planning to deliver the Prime Minister a private ultimatum this weekend, warning him that he must either set out a timetable for departure or face an imminent coup. Mr Burnham will stop short of publicly calling for the Labour leader to resign if he wins tomorrow's Makerfield by-election. But his supporters will take to the airwaves to pile pressure on beleaguered Sir Keir – and allies are then plotting a wave of ministerial resignations to try to force him out. Leadership rival Wes Streeting also called for the Prime Minister to set out a timetable this week. But what do you think – should Sir Keir quit if Mr Burnham is victorious tomorrow?
