ANDY BURNHAM vowed yesterday to resign from Labour’s front bench if the party advocated scrapping Trident and withdrawing from Nato.

Appearing alongside his rivals for the party leadership at a radio hustings in Stevenage, Mr Burnham indicated that he would find it a struggle to serve under leftwinger Jeremy Corbyn.

He also came under fire for sexism after saying that Labour should only have a woman leader “when the time was right.”
