Two Doncaster MPs are in the running to replace Sir Keir Starmer as Prime Minister, according to bookmakers.

Both Doncaster North and Rawmarsh and Conisbrough Labour MPs Ed Miliband and John Healey are among the contenders bookies say could be the next incumbent of Number 10 – although both are listed as outsiders.

A spokesperson for Free Bets Casino, which has drawn up the odds, said: “As speculation mounts over a Labour reshuffle and questions grow around Rachel Reeves’ position, the latest political odds point to increasing instability at the top of government.

“Andy Burnham is now 3/1 favourite to replace Starmer as PM, while Lucy Powell is the overwhelming 1/7 frontrunner to take over as the permanent Deputy Leader.

"Reeves, meanwhile, is odds-on to leave by 2026 — and Pat McFadden is firmly backed to step into No.11.”
