Andy Burnham has attempted to give his side of the story after his clash with the Daily Mail’s Christian Calgie. It has already gone wrong.
Earlier this morning, Burnham tweeted this:
Those looking to find this tweet will struggle, because he has deleted it. GB News never mentioned the story once. Guido did, of course, and co-conspirators can watch our interview with Christian Calgie here. He has since posted again to only attack Calgie…
Lee Anderson also posted to X this morning (still available):
“We had no idea Andy was there. The reason we stopped by is because there is a lake there where Rob fishes and he was showing us places in the constituency that meant a lot to him.
Whilst there a few of us went into the cafe to use the toilet and have a cup of tea. The lady who runs the cafe sat down at our table and discussed how the cafe works and the challenges they faced. Nothing was planned it was just a convenience break. Burnham lost his rag with Christian Calgie who happened to following our group.”
Burnham officially launches his campaign later this morning. Should be fun…
Paula Barker, Liverpool Wavertree MP backing Andy Burnham, told Times Radio there wouldn’t be trouble from the markets under Burnham:
“The markets will have to fall in line.”
