Number 10 has confirmed that Andy Burnham has been forced to correct the record after his comments at PMQs yesterday about the Ann Widdecombe trial risked being in contempt of court. Downing Street has issued a clarification to Hansard and Burnham’s words will be updated shortly. Bumbling Burnham strikes again…
Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock was asked if Burnham will take Britain back into the EU:
“Yes, sure – his commitment is authentic. He really does understand from the grassroots up why restoring what I think of as normality in our continent is vital for every party economically, politically, culturally, in terms of security, and he’s able to articulate it in language that people can understand. So yeah, he is definitely”.
