Nandy hits out at Wes on Kuenssberg:
“I actually think this is just a bit odd… I campaigned for remain, I think it was a mistake… but I don’t really understand why the sudden focus on Europe. We’re already as a government trying to repair in a pragmatic way the enormous damage done by the poor Brexit deal to towns like mine without reopening the circular arguments that we ended up in as a country. And frankly if the answer to all of this was the EU then essentially we’d be saying to people what was going on in 2015 in towns like Wigan was absolutely fine – well I can tell you it wasn’t.”
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.”
