For a man who rails against trickle down economics, what is life like in the most deprived area of Greater Manchester?

Over the last month @SamCoatesSky and I have been taking a deep dive on Manchester.

"We will make changes. Need to move from the politics of faction to the politics of project."

"Politics of project" one of those phrases which has you reaching for the sick bucket

This is one of the reasons why I am standing in Holborn and St Pancras.

Only a Green win will put the pressure on the Prime Minister for real change, and not copy and paste from Keir Starmer.

Leak from No 10 reveals how Starmer planned to stay in power - and the policies borrowed by Burnham.

Matthew Pennycook said earlier this year that while the legislation to abolish leasehold will be in force by the next GE, the commencement date at which the ban will be triggered will likely come after.

That’s only for new leasehold properties - existing ones are not covered by the ban.

No one doubts its complexity but it’s hard to think of another policy area where so much has been over promised and under delivered. In opposition, Labour initially promised legislation to abolish leasehold within its first 100 days…

This is the most chilling article about #September11 I’ve read on this somber anniversary. “The Untold Pre-History of 9/11” is written by @USNatArchives official @ChrisNaylor__ for @TheNatlInterest. Its opening scene will blow your mind. #NeverForget911 https://t.co/pggAdk47xe

EXC: Chancellor John Healey’s start of term interview.

He tells me:

- Burnham is running a “continuity” government. This is “continuity of a Labour government with a change of leader”
- Asked about funding Burnham’s big vision outlined when he ran for leader Healey said it’s “not easy” to spend more and responds to q about major spending challenges by referring to “longer term” vision
- Says “fiscal discipline” is his first priority — and denies he’s had a change in top priority after resigning as defence secretary in June because government wouldn’t put a date on 3% defence spending. Asked if that’s “a shift” he says “no”.
- Says he moved into No11 Downing Street last week, has put up his dart board already but doesn’t have enough furniture because it’s so big — and says his wife is “worried about him living above the shop”

When I bang on about the polling industry being fucked, this is exactly what I mean.

35%?! Are you out of your mind?

On a site visit to HS2 in Northamptonshire I found a new bit of the railway I'd never heard about - the Turweston Green Bridge.

At first, I thought it was a bat tunnel without the bats. Then I realised it was teaching me a much deeper lesson.
