In a surprise move, the UK's top teaching union has endorsed Andy Burnham as Labour's best chance of defeating the Conservative-led Reform movement in a potential general election. The union's backing comes as Labour struggles to regain momentum and challenge the Reform party's growing popularity. Burnham, the current Mayor of Greater Manchester, has been gaining traction within the party as a potential leadership contender, and this endorsement is seen as a significant boost to his campaign. With the Reform party's education policies under scrutiny, Burnham's experience as a former Education Secretary could prove to be a valuable asset for Labour in the upcoming election.
