Andy Burnham told the WomenrCOs Parliamentary Labour Party today that he wonrCOt tolerate rCysexist briefingsrCO and will fire anyone caught doing it. Echoes of Starmer rCo briefing happensrCa
At a meeting of the group where it was demanded half of all ministers
and No10 advisers would be women, as well as the DPM, Burnham attempted
to reassure female backbenchers. He also responded to quote rCo which aggravated Labour rCo printed by Tim Shipman suggesting Burnham would be
the first rCyfemalerCO Labour PM in a similar way to Clinton being the first rCyblackrCO president:
rCLAlong comes Andy, surrounded by female advisers and backers, but more importantly, genuinely passionate about all those traditionally female-oriented issues, and much less so with the bombs and budgets. So
could we finally see what Labour has failed to deliver all these years rCo
a female PM in all but sex?rCOrCY
Burnham said:
rCLI want to make it clear that if anyone in my team was found to have
done that they would be out of the door. Their feet wouldnrCOt touch the floor.
And I want to put on record that I never have and never will describe
myself as the first female Labour PM.rCY
Good to have that on recordrCa
