Labour Leadership
2010
In May 2010, Burnham announced his intention to stand in the Labour leadership contest following the resignation of Gordon Brown. He promised to put an end to "stage managed" politics run by "elites", adding "I am a team-player; I've never had time for factions".[5]
2015
Following the resignation of Ed Miliband in May 2015, Burnham has announced that he will stand once again in the Labour Leadership contest. [6]
Burnham has appointed founder and managing director of Insight Consulting Group John Lehal as campaign manager; Burson Marsteller lobbyist and former director of comms for Ed Miliband's leadership campaign, Katie Myler, as director of communications; and chaired by Michael Dugher.[7] Other backers include shadow health minister Luciana Berger, who will focus on campaigns and engaging younger voters; shadow welsh secretary Owen Smith, who will be looking at questions around the future of the UK; and the shadow justice secretary Lord Falconer.[8]
