Andy Burnham, mayor of Greater Manchester, broke his silence following Labour's third-place finish in the Gorton and Denton by-election, where the Green Party won and Reform UK came second. Burnham was prevented from standing as Labour's candidate by the party's National Executive Committee amid concerns about a potential leadership challenge.
