Andy Burnham has officially launched his campaign to be the Labour MP for Makerfield - in a contest widely seen as a step on the way to challenging Sir Keir Starmer. [Subscribe to our Substack newsletter: https://channel4news.substack.com/subscribe] The launch comes as the Green Party said their former candidate in the by-election had apologised for sharing social media posts that described an attack on Jewish ambulances in London as a "false flag". But Mr Burnham kept the focus this morning on the Labour party. So far, the by-election candidates are Andy Burnham (Labour), Robert Kenyon (Reform UK), Michael Winstanley (Conservative), Rebecca Shepherd (Restore Britain), Jake Austin (Liberal Democrats), Howling Laud Hope (Monster Raving Loony Party), with the Green Party expected to field a new candidate after their original nominee withdrew. ------- Get more news at our site - https://www.channel4.com/news/ Subscribe to our Substack newsletter: https://channel4news.substack.com/s
