Of course, that was a week ago and we all know that\u2019s a long time in politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt may well be that if it came to it Starmer would decide a contest in which he ran \u2013 and was possibly defeated \u2013 was too damaging to the party in the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Should Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, take part in a leadership contest, he would defeat Starmer with the largest margin of any potential challenger \u2013 26 percentage points, the research found. Burnham would need to return to Westminster as a Labour MP in order to be able to challenge for the party leadership.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Rayner, the former deputy prime minister, would also defeat Starmer by a 19-point margin, polling 52% compared with 33% for the prime minister. Last weekend, allies of Rayner said she would seek to renew her public profile in the coming months and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/politics\/2025\/nov\/16\/angela-rayner-condemns-labour-infighting-but-does-not-rule-out-running-for-leader\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">would be likely to run<\/a> in a future leadership contest.<\/p>\n<p>Streeting, the health secretary, would edge out Starmer by 33% to 31% but the result is within the margin of error and is effectively a dead heat.<\/p>\n<p>Both candidates would also have to win over the 36% of members who said they would be unsure who to back in such a contest. Earlier this month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/politics\/2025\/nov\/12\/wes-streeting-denies-plotting-oust-keir-starmer-prime-minister\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Streeting denied leading a plot<\/a> to overthrow the prime minister and called for those briefing against him to be sacked. <\/p>\n<p>Miliband, Labour leader from 2010 until his resignation in 2015, would lead Starmer by four points should a leadership contest take place, the poll found.<\/p>\n<p>Burnell added: \u201cThe two leading contenders to Starmer both face significant challenges. Rayner because it may be that not enough time has passed since she, very unfortunately, had to step down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBurnham because he faces several hurdles to being able to run. If things move quickly, he may not be able to return to parliament in time to be a candidate. This might give Starmer and his team hope. If there is no obvious candidate that can beat him, he will feel much more secure in place.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andy Burnham, Ed Miliband, Angela Rayner and Wes Streeting would all win a head-to-head leadership contest against Keir Starmer, according to a poll of Labour members.
