Labour MP and shadow home secretary Andy Burnham has had a complaint against The Sun over stories based on an undercover investigation rejected by the Independent Press Standards Organisation.

The articles published in late 2015 were headlined: “Bung me £5k to meet Burnham”, “Publicly: ‘Corbyn’s a nice man’ privately: ‘he will be a disaster’” and “Exposed: Burnham fixer dismissed as ‘fantasist’ cheers on Jeremy Corbyn at conference”.

Burnham complained to IPSO that The Sun breached the Editors' Code on ‘accuracy’, ‘opportunity to reply’, ‘privacy’ and use of 'clandestine devices and subterfuge’ .
