MPs urge Darren Jones to run against Andy Burnham for Labour leadership

MPs are rallying behind Darren Jones, the chief secretary to the prime minister, to challenge Andy Burnham for the Labour leadership, hoping to create a competitive contest instead of what they see as a likely "coronation" for Burnham. The push highlights concerns over Burnham’s economic plans, particularly his proposal for public control of utilities. While Jones remains hesitant, the move underscores a desire among some MPs for a more robust debate on Labour’s direction and economic strategy.
