ANDY BURNHAM attacked European Union leaders yesterday for imposing right-wing policies across the continent — before saying he wanted Britain to remain a member, writes Luke James. 

Giving his verdict on the Greek crisis, the Labour leadership front-runner said that Athens should accept pension cuts but criticised plans for further austerity and privatisation. 

“The danger is that the EU is becoming associated with a right-of-centre economic orthodoxy that is being imposed on all parts of the EU over and above the heads of the Greek people,” he said.
