In the immediate aftermath of Burnham's victory, Sir Keir continued to insist he would fight any formal leadership bid, in a process that would potentially take months to resolve.

Speaking to BBC Two's Politics Live, Greg Attwells defended Australia's social media ban for under-16s and said "in a world where teenagers have never been more digitally connected, they've also never been more lonely."
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced restrictions on under-16s using social media, which is expected to come into full force by spring 2027.
Meanwhile, The Daily Telegraph's Poppy Coburn, who opposes the proposed ban, told the programme "there's been a fear-based decision-making on this" adding "go after the tech companies, by all means, but this is a ban.”

Speaking in Downing Street, the prime minister said social media is making children unhappy, making it easier for bullies to abuse children, and is "designed to be addictive".
A ban would give children more time, security, and more freedom to grow up - as well as more opportunities, he added.
Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X are among the platforms affected - but not WhatsApp and Signal, the government has confirmed.

- Tech companies have had "more than enough time to get their house in order", Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has said ahead of an announcement on Monday by the prime minister on restricting social media for teenagers.
Speaking to the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, Nandy said that if the firms were "not prepared" to ensure their products were safe "they frankly lose the right to market their products towards children".
The Times has reported, external that Sir Keir Starmer's announcement will include banning under 16-year-olds from some social media sites and a curfew for older teenagers.
But campaigner Ian Russell, whose daughter Molly took her own life after viewing harmful content online, warned that "sledgehammer techniques like bans" would cause more problems.
Russell said he was "dismayed" by reports of a ban and suggested the policy had been "rushed" forward for "a political reason".
