Now that Sir Keir Starmer has resigned as Prime Minister the race is on to find his successor.
Former Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham is favourite to be the next inhabitant of 10 Downing Street, particularly since his closest rival, Wes Streeting, has indicated he will not stand in a leadership election.
It means that he may be the only candidate for the job and could take over as PM as early as the middle of March.
Whoever gets the job, there will be a pretty major cabinet reshuffle and it seems certain that Rachel Reeves, who has served as Chancellor of the Exchequer since Labour’s landslide election victory in 2024, will be handing over the keys to 11 Downing Street.
Here are the 10 leading candidates to succeed her - according to the bookies.

9. Miatta Fahnbulleh - 14/1
Seen as a star of the future, Miatta Fahnbulleh was first elected in the 2024 General Election and has previously served as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. It may be a bit early for her, but she's still in the running for the Chancellor job, priced at 14/1. | Getty Images
10. Angela Rayner - 16/1
Angela Rayner, the former Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, lost her place in cabinet after she breached the ministerial code by underpaying stamp duty on a property in Hove. She was seen as a possible successor to Keir Starmer but doesn't seem like she fancies standing for the leadership. Becoming Chancellor would be nearly as remarkable a political comeback - the bookies reckon she has a 16/1 shot. | Getty Images
