Burnham was health secretary during negotiations over health agreement
Andy Burnham could become the UK's seventh prime minister in a decade by mid-July.
Yesterday (22 June) he was sworn-in as the new MP for Makerfield.
It came just hours after Sir Keir Starmer announced he was resigning saying he couldn’t lead the party into the next election.

Mr Burnham is no stranger to the Isle of Man - when he was Health Secretary he was engaged in discussions with the Manx Government over the reciprocal health agreement.
Former Health Minister Eddie Teare, and former Chief Minister Tony Brown, have been sharing their memories of that time:
Court to order election recount
Number of bus services cancelled or at risk today
Charity to connect elderly people with services at event
UK Budget measures to help gas consumers not to be replicated here
