"It is easy to look at Labour's disastrous election results across the UK and conclude that this is a wholesale rejection of Sir Keir Starmer's premiership. The problem for the party is that this is also a wholesale rejection of the pretenders to Sir Keir's crown. The top contenders to replace him as Labour leader, Angela Rayner and Andy Burnham, have also been dealt a humiliating rejection by voters."
"Across the northwest of England, where Mr Burnham is the Greater Manchester mayor, voters turned from Labour to Reform. Keir Starmer has been rejected by voters, but so have Angela Rayner and Andy Burnham, the top contenders to replace the prime minister (AP) Notably in Wigan, the seat of one of his chief allies, culture secretary Lisa Nandy, Reform snatched all seats from Labour that were up for contention."

Reform also won all seats from Labour in Wigan, and Rayner faced setbacks in Tameside, where Labour placed poorly in related contests.
