Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham calls for an early general election

The Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham has called for an early General Election "to restore some sanity to British politics."

The Mayor was a guest on TV show Good Morning Britain, where he described the number of different chancellor's in the five years he has been holding Greater Manchester Green Summits as "An unbelievable state of affairs," and claimed the Conservative party had given up the right to govern, saying they were in "chaos," and were "disintegrating."

Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley asked the mayor if Labour taking the reins would seem strange after the Conservative party had been in power for so long but Burnham denied that would be the case.
