In 2015, Andy Burnham, the Member of Parliament for Leigh, stood as a candidate for leadership of the Labour Party in the United Kingdom. His candidacy was announced upon the release of a YouTube video on 15 May 2015.[1] His announcement involved the promise to "rediscover the beating heart of Labour" and appeal to the aspirations "of everyone".[2]
Burnham was initially considered the frontrunner in the race to succeed Ed Miliband.[3] However the emergence of Jeremy Corbyn as the candidate representing the left-wing faction of the party, in June 2015, and the consequent growth in support for Corbyn's campaign saw Burnham's lead diminish to the point that Corbyn overtook him – this was first reflected in a YouGov poll published by The Times on 21 July.[4]
