The Morning Poll: Do you think Andy Burnham will last as Prime Minister?
Developed over time first seen 3 months ago
The Daily Mail's morning poll asks readers whether they believe Andy Burnham will survive as Prime Minister, reflecting mounting pressure on him amid a series of contentious policy moves. The question comes as reports suggest Burnham may be considering an inheritance tax overhaul, while facing criticism from opposition figures over other domestic policies, making his political durability a live talking point.
Related coverage highlights specific flashpoints fuelling doubts about his position, including fears he could impose a 10% "death tax" levy on all inheritances to fund social care, prompting Conservative figures such as Robert Jenrick to demand an election if he pursues it. He has also broken from Tony Blair-era New Labour policy by abandoning the target of sending half of young people to university, while Kemi Badenoch has separately challenged him to scrap an early prisoner release scheme, adding to the sense of a besieged premiership.
