A lot of focus will be on Andy Burnham outpolling Sir Keir Starmer in a hypothetical leadership contest but this polling is moot given Andy Burnham isn’t an MP, it will be difficult for him to become an MP, and the polling was taken before his recent implosion.

My main focus is on what I think is the value in backing Bridget Phillipson to win the deputy leadership given YouGov’s track record in leadership contests, at 8s when she’s only losing by 7%.

edit Survation has Powell widening her lead.

Elsewhere, Lucy Powell extends her lead to +31 over Bridget Phillipson in the race to be the party's next Deputy Leader, with 57% of the membership now backing Powell compared to 26% for Phillipson.
