Let's be clear: that was tactical cowardice. It takes guts to defend deep but more to back yourself to keep going. That Konsa-Gordon sub will live in my head until the Euros. Don't tell us that it will be different if you're going to make exactly the same mistakes.

I’ve unveiled a secret project today. One that we’ve been working on for the past year.
Something that can add a billion pounds a year to the economy of the north while making the environment better.
And we think we can deliver it at no cost to government.
Ambitious, right?

Wow, seems like half of Greater Manchester has woken up to the smell of smoke from this Dovestones fire

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.
It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.
But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

@HugoGye Having been in a Burnham huddle many times I can safely tell you he would have answered every one of those examples. Especially football Qs! 😂
Tbh I’ll be amazed if he doesn’t do more media Q&As soon. He enjoys them.
English
@SteveRobson04 Yes that's true but I think the context has changed so much. As mayor, you can always (fairly) dodge a question on Trump/immigration/Northern Ireland/should-we-get-a-bank-holiday-if-England-win-the-world-cup/etc, so there are many Qs he just has not answered.
English
Not defending Burnham on lack of Qs today but - there have been SO many opportunities to quiz him over past 12 months. All in the North.
If only the SW1 pack had got out of London a bit more they could have come and asked whatever they wanted.

Right, this I can get behind. Question is where?
Salford Lads Club?
The Millstone?
Pretty much any flat-roofed pub in north Manchester...
