As a Greater Manchester MP, let me be clear.
If Andy Burnham wins the Makerfield by-election tomorrow his immediate priority should be ensuring Labour goes on to also win the Greater Manchester mayoral by-election which has to take place by 6 August.
Andy is uniquely placed to lead that campaign.
Sir Keir Starmer urges Andy Burnham and his party not to focus on a leadership contest after the Makerfield by-election.
