LABOUR leftwingers have won two more selection victories in constituencies where right-wing Labour MPs have resigned in the past year.

Candidates backed by the left of the party won resounding victories in both Bury South and Penistone and Stocksbridge on Thursday night.

In Bury South, the former seat of Ivan Lewis – who resigned over frustrations about the handling of his sexual harassment process among other issues – constituency party chair and disability rights campaigner Lucy Burke easily defeated her rivals.
