Jeremy Corbyn has suggested Sir Keir Starmer’s strategy to counter the leadership threat posed by Andy Burnham is unclear – and this could lead to a "coronation".
He told Sky News: "What I find very strange in the current situation is that it’s very obvious that Andy Burnham is going to run to be leader of the Labour Party, that’s hardly a secret. I don’t understand what Keir Starmer’s strategy is in this, other than saying he’s going to fight it, then but not doing anything very obvious to fight it.
"I just wonder if we’re not going to witness a coronation of Andy Burnham in a few days’ time."
