"The NEC had faced intense pressure to allow Mr Burnham to run, following the body's decision to block him from running in the Gorton and Denton contest earlier this year. Wes Streeting, who is gearing up for a fight against Mr Burnham in a potential leadership election, joined those backing him to win the by-election, saying that Labour needs our best players on the pitch."
The Independent describes its reporting approach as fact-focused and accessible without paywalls, supported by donations that fund journalists on the ground. It also states that its audience spans the political spectrum. Separately, Andy Burnham received approval from Labour’s National Executive Committee to be included in the candidate selection process for the Makerfield by-election. The decision follows Josh Simons stepping down as MP to allow Burnham to stand. Labour confirmed the clearance, and the NEC had previously blocked Burnham from running in the Gorton and Denton contest earlier in the year. Wes Streeting backed Burnham, arguing Labour needs its best candidates for the by-election.
