Liverpool West Derby MP Ian Byrne is to seek guidance from police following alleged intimidation during a campaign event at the weekend.
Mr Byrne, who was elected at the 2019 General Election, is facing a battle to be selected as the Labour candidate again for the next election. It was confirmed last month that rather than be automatically re-selected to fight the seat for the party, he would face an internal challenge from opponents vying to represent West Derby in Westminster.
Last week, it was finalised that Cllr Anthony Lavelle - who was out on the campaign trail on Saturday - and Hyndburn Councillor Kimberley Whitehead were the two people going up against Mr Byrne for the Labour candidacy. Mr Byrne was also seen in the constituency yesterday campaigning with party members as well as Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram and Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, who have publicly backed his re-selection bid.
