The British Labour Party should move on from its ongoing “civil war” and focus instead on delivering results in local authorities under its control, Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham said on Monday.

“Labour needs to move on from the left and the right conducting this civil war within, focus on delivery now and making change happen, and celebrating Labour in power—because this is Labour in power, look at what we’re doing,” he said after winning reelection as mayor with 67.3 percent of the votes.
