Minister quizzed over Burnham being blocked by Labour’s NEC to run in by-election
Secretary of State for Scotland Douglas Alexander has instructed Sky News that Andy Burnham was blocked from working within the by-election because the get together didn’t need a "psychodrama" taking part in out over the following few months.
It comes as MPs are calling on Sir Keir Starmer to alter his thoughts and permit Andy Burnham to face within the Gorton and Denton by-election – saying the choice to dam him "is a real gift to Nigel Farage".
