Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burham has said he wishes to stand in a by-election in Makerfield triggered by Josh Simons standing down.
In a statement, Burnham said that he grew up in Makerfield "and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics."
He added that people need change from "a national level" to make everyday life affordable.
If Burnham was to win the by-election, it would give him a chance to challenge Keir Starmer's leadership of the Labour Party. However, first the former health secretary would need to be granted permission to run for parliament by Labour's ruling national executive committee.
