This is not about Andy Burnham.
This is about our collective fight to get the best possible deal for our businesses and residents, especially those on the lowest pay.
You can't even get all the GM Tory MPs to sign your pathetic letter, how will you negotiate a better deal?

So much for levelling up, this government is playing games and the North West is losing.

The key story from yesterday, absent from a lot of national news, is that the govt has made suppprt for local test & trace CONDITIONAL on councils doing what they're told. This is mad, & dangerous. With her usual excellence, @JenWilliamsMEN explains here: manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…

Hi Luis, you should be allowed to marry in church, definitely. Does @JamesDalyMP agree? Tony Abbott is still a homophobe and a poor choice for UK trade. Does @JamesDalyMP agree with that too? Or is he still on the iPod listening to Rule Britannia?

PLEASE SHARE: Covid-19 data
7-day rate of 33.1 per 100,000 pop
5th weekly rise to 63 cases
This is not because of more testing
Under 40s are the biggest cause of our cases
People are spreading the virus they’ve caught in the community to their families

‘Shifts blame’ - absolutely typical from this incompetent government.
The front page of tomorrow's Daily Telegraph: "Williamson shifts blame on to exam watchdog after grades climbdown"

Bury’s Two local MP’s nearly 1 day after the government U-Turn remain silent on one the biggest social policy mishaps ever. I’m strongly of the view that should they have the audacity to go into any of our secondary schools/ colleges,students should let them know what they think
Bury Labour Party retweeted
PLEASE SHARE: Covid-19 weekly data
7-day rate of 26.8 per 100,000 population
Fourth weekly rise in a row – 19, 22, 38 and now 51 cases
This is not because of more testing
Under 40s are the biggest cause of our cases
Act NOW to avoid a full lockdown bury.gov.uk/coronavirus

Right now you can’t have social visitors in your home and you should not be visiting other households.
You also should not socialise with people you do not live with at indoor venues.
It is important everyone does this to help control the spread of #coronavirus

Here’s my reply to Greater Manchester Conservative MPs 👇
Our MPs @Christian4BuryS and @JamesDalyMP have signed a letter from Greater Manchester MPs to Matt Hancock in relation to Andy Burnham's comments yesterday stating that it was ‘impossible’ to lift the restrictions in any single borough.

Just over 12 hours ago, @RobertJenrick published ‘Planning for the Future’, a white paper that seeks to rip up planning 'red tape' by taking control away from local people. Shall we take a look at how it's going down? 👇
