TL;DR Summary
A BBC snapshot of potential Labour leadership challengers to Keir Starmer shows no contest yet, but momentum exists: Wes Streeting is seen as the party’s best communicator with cabinet backing; Andy Burnham is popular with voters but would need to re-enter Parliament; Angela Rayner remains a left-leaning contender, with Ed Miliband and Shabana Mahmood also mentioned as possibilities. Starmer has said no leadership contest has been triggered and would stand if one emerged.
