No - not frenzied

Andy Burnham fuels Keir Starmer challenge rumours as poll shows Labour support at lowest EVER

The latest sign of manoeuvres against Sir Keir came as a poll put Labour on its lowest ever support of just 16 per cent. The Find Out Now research found Reform was way ahead on 34 per cent backing - although the firm has consistently detected bigger advantages for Nigel Farage's party than other pollsters.

Mr Burnham has been the subject of frenzied interest amid the extraordinary meltdown at the heart of Downing Street.

Not so much 'frenzied' as a kind of dull resignation that someone has to replace Starmer but he or she isn't likely to be anyone significantly more capable because Labour doesn't have anyone significantly more capable but does have quite a few who could be significantly worse, implausible as that seems now.

No - not frenzied.
