A UK government minister says Sir Keir Starmer continues to carry out his role “getting on with the job,” despite a reported victory for Labour’s Ben Burnham. Kirsty McNeill, speaking publicly, rejects the idea that there is any opening in No. 10 Downing Street, stating there is “no vacancy.” She argues that Labour politicians should continue working in their current responsibilities rather than speculating about changes at the top. The comments come amid discussion of internal Labour politics following Burnham’s win. McNeill’s stance emphasizes continuity in leadership and direction, presenting the outcome as not altering the government’s view of Starmer’s position. No further details on the election result, the competition in which Burnham won, or any immediate policy or staffing changes are provided in the available summaries. The reporting from both outlets is aligned on the core message: Starmer remains in post and ministers are urging colleagues to focus on their current duties rather than shifting attention to No. 10.
