In his final Prime Minister’s Questions, Keir Starmer says he will give “wholehearted support” to Andy Burnham, who is described as prime minister-in-waiting. Multiple outlets report that Starmer makes the pledge during his last appearance at PMQs, framing it as support for Burnham’s forthcoming role. One report also says Starmer delivers emotionally charged final remarks, including tributes made during the session.
The outlets further agree that Starmer uses the occasion to thank Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch for her “kindness” following the death of his brother, according to the Evening Standard and BreakingNews.ie, with the same element also reflected across the other coverage provided. The Belfast Telegraph and Yahoo UK News entries are not detailed in the supplied text, but they are included under the same headline theme.
Overall, the reports focus on Starmer’s pledge to support Andy Burnham ahead of a transition and his public expressions of thanks related to personal circumstances.
