Andy Burnham – the runaway winner of our MP of the month contest
Share this article:
Not content with placing him firmly at the top of the shadow cabinet rankings (for the second month in a row) you’ve also awarded shadow health secretary Andy Burnham the LabourList MP of the month award for February. Burnham has been relentless in his opposition to the health bill, and Labour members and supporters have clearly acknowledged their appreciation of his work.
Burnham comfortably beat off competition from last month’s winner Chuka Umunna, Stella Creasy, Emily Thornberry and Tom Watson to claim the prize – and received more than three times as many votes as any other MP.
Congratulations to Andy on his double win this month.
