2026 Labour Party (UK) leadership crisis: Josh Simons, the Labour MP for Makerfield, announces that he will resign his seat to allow Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham to seek a return to Parliament. Burnham says he will seek permission from Labour's National Executive Committee to stand in the resulting by-election.

In 2026, a leadership crisis emerged within the Labour Party amid public and internal party dissatisfaction with Keir Starmer, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, and his government. It led to Starmer announcing his resignation on 22 June; he was replaced by Andy Burnham as leader on 17 July, and as Prime Minister on 20 July.
