Burnham's last potential rival Al Carns rules out leadership bid

Al Carns, who was seen as Burnham's last potential rival for the Labour leadership, has decided not to enter the contest, citing that it wasn't the best use of the party's time and urging unity behind Burnham's leadership. This decision effectively solidifies Burnham's position as the presumptive leader of the Labour Party. It's a significant move as it helps maintain party cohesion and focus on the upcoming challenges ahead, avoiding internal divisions that could weaken their collective standing.
