From BBC News.

Andy Burnham has confirmed he is officially seeking permission to enter the running to become MP for Gorton and Denton in the upcoming by-election, opening the possibility for him to contest Keir Starmer’s leadership.

However, Burnham has to get approval from Labour’s ruling national executive committee, which Keir Starmer and some of his allies are on, before he can enter the race to be the party’s candidate.

Laura and Paddy are joined by Gemma Bolton from the committee to discuss why some other members think he should be allowed.
