@CringePun @AndyBurnhamGM @BurnsideWasTosh That will soon drop when Manchester Airport resumes dividend payments to its shareholders - the 10 local authorities that make up GM.

@AndyBurnhamGM @BurnsideWasTosh GM gets its pocket money from the government and has basically no statutory responsibilities. Manchester council on the otherhand has become one of the most indebted in the country under Labour. ilovemanchester.com/manchester-cit…

A country that votes for Andy Burnham deserves the bankruptcy that will ensue. Learn some lessons about economics in real time.

On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours: “On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists. Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.” It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.

Today, thousands of Londoners from all backgrounds gathered in Trafalgar Square to watch the Passion of Jesus, performed by @WintershallPlay. My best wishes to all Christians observing Good Friday - a time to reflect on Jesus Christ’s message of courage, compassion and empathy.

@NathanEvansTeam @drdavidajames @DCBMEP You do know how. As Altrincham under a conservative council had the worst retail occupancy rates in England.

@drdavidajames @DCBMEP I just don't know not know why we allow this.

An English market town in Dorset exemplifies aesthetic decline.

Name me one decent politician? Just one who puts its constituents first just one?

Andy Burnham as prime minister ?? First he fucks up Manchester, now they want him to run the country...!!

Clearly not the Trafford Centre.

@Unite_NorthWest Do you realise the anxiety and stress this causes your members in the hospitality industry leading up to Christmas?

Strikes by around 320 tram drivers working for KeolisAmey Metrolink Limited later this month are back on, after workers overwhelmingly voted to reject the company’s proposals for tackling driver fatigue. 🗓️ Strike dates: 19, 20 and 31 December 🔗 unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

@BPete1970 Morning Pete, see you later!

@jo32192000 @NotMyDing But I and many others constituent’s use the service to Stockport on a weekly basis to connect to the Avanti service to London.

@jondrape @NotMyDing Apparently 75% of journeys made from Alty station are to Knutsford so is that Knutsford comp school kids in the morning who’ll have travel cards & Knutsford commuters using the Met in the evening, hardly making a difference to his constituents?

Absolutely zero understanding of his mainly middle class affluent constituents. Frozen tax brackets will make them poorer. Freezing prescription & rail tickets doesn’t make them cheaper. Bills going up in Jan so that’s a lie. Business rates going up not down, lie

@NotMyDing @jo32192000 There’s 2 an hour?

@jo32192000 🤣 one train per hour through your constituency, dickhead. Every 2 hours on Sundays.

@jo32192000 @AndyBurnhamGM cityam.com/booming-manche…

@AndyBurnhamGM Nearly pantomime season. Burnham’s brought growth to the long term working class of Greater Manchester, oh no he hasn’t

Today GM raises the bar on growth.

@jo32192000 @AndyBurnhamGM cityam.com/booming-manche…

@AndyBurnhamGM Keep repeating the word growth hoping we’ll believe you, the growth you’ve brought is city centre skyscrapers built by your mates & sold to Arab & Chinese money launderers & than filled with their own people, no growth in council housing or growth for Mancs in council housing.

@patkarney Glad you like this! Wythenshawe is happening. Best run of gigs since the Golden Garter!

Just Amazing. The Best Council in the Country.

New Yorkers really saw London turning into an utter hellhole under Khan and said: “yeah, let’s do that here too”
