I WONDER how many people believe Andy Burnham when he says he is behind the constituents.

I agree with him that we are all fair-minded but where was he when we were all saying that we did not want the busway in the first place?

He wasn’t behind us then, was he?

But we have to realise that there is a general election coming up next year and now he needs us all behind him – and not Liverpool where he has spent most of his time recently.

He has got to realise he is the MP for Leigh and as such needs to be here and should listen to us more than once a year.
