Who could challenge Burnham for leadership?

Following the resignation of Sir Keir Starmer, it's reported at least two senior Labour MPs are considering launching leadership bids to prevent Andy Burnham becoming prime minister without a formal contest.

Former defence minister Al Carns has said he is weighing up whether to run, while Sir Keir Starmer's Chief Secretary, Darren Jones, has also not ruled it out.

However, chief political correspondent Henry Zeffman says it is "pretty unlikely" either of them could garner enough votes to pose a challenge to Burnham.
