SUCCESSION RISK

The Blair–Brown internal conflict lasted 3 years and contributed directly to Labour's loss of government. The electoral consequence was described as a party that had become "Labour lost 2010 general election; Brown tenure seen as electorally exhausted". With Burnham's return to Westminster, the party faces a structurally similar moment.
