Andy Burnham wants to be prime minister. He cannot do it without Britain's Muslims Submitted by Ismail Patel on Fri, 06/26/2026 - 20:05 The community that Labour once took for granted has gone - and it will not return to a party that offers warm words but changes nothing Andy Burnham, new Labour Party MP for Makerfield, speaks to supporters in Ashton in Makerfield, north-west England on 19 June, 2026 (AFP) On If Andy Burnham succeeds Keir Starmer , he will inherit a Labour Party that has lost something it spent decades assuming it owned: the trust of Britain ’s Muslims.  He should understand that this trust will not be recovered with a photograph at a mosque, an iftar or Eid party, or platitudes.
