Burnham is facing backlash over his shared platform with the Greens

Labour MPs turned on Andy Burnham after he agreed to share a platform with the Greens just weeks after the local elections.

The Greater Manchester Mayor will appear at a conference for the ‘progressive majority’ with former Green Party leader Caroline Lucas.

But Labour MPs reacted with fury that he would appear alongside their rivals just after a bitter local election battle.

The Greens are expected to make incursions into traditional Labour territory and win a number of council seats from Sir Keir Starmer‘s party in the local elections.

They are expected to take Labour strongholds such as Hackney, Lewisham, Lambeth and Waltham Forest
