Next Labour Party leader odds: Burnham tipped to replace Starmer

Andy Burnham favourite to replace Keir Starmer

As noted, Starmer is on very thin ground when it comes to his position as leader of the Labour Party, and it's Andy Burnham who the bookies are viewing as the Prime Minister's most likely successor.

However, that race isn't a foregone conclusion by any means, with Burnham's 2/1 odds of becoming Labour's next permanent leader closely followed by Wes Streeting and Angela Rayner, priced at 3/1 and 4/1 respectively.

Ed Miliband is the only other name priced shorter than 10/1, with Shabana Mahmood rounding out the top five at 12/1. Names such as Yvette Cooper, David Lammy and Sadiq Khan are viewed as outsiders, priced between 16/1 and 66/1.

Above are the odds for the six favourites to become the next permanent leader of the Labour Party, with Burnham leading the race and viewed as the most likely candidate at the time of writing.

A decision on the next Labour Party leader might be coming sooner than people think, with Starmer now actually odds-on to announce his resignation before the end of the week.

Ladbrokes also has several next UK General Election betting markets open for customers, with Reform tipped to win the most seats.
