Keir Starmer responded to the reports during an exclusive interview with the Oldham Times this week. On Wednesday, in an interview on Times Radio to discuss the introduction of the Manchester Baccalaureate, Mr Burnham criticised the party for briefing against him. I'm out there supporting the party and working for a Labour government, as everyone is, but I'm doing my thing. The Times newspaper said a Labour Party source suggested the metro mayor was "really annoying". Sir Keir rubbished these rumours during an exclusive interview with The Oldham Times.
