An impressive night-time sight of our developments; Deansgate Square, Crown Street and The Blade. All of which form part of the new residential district we are creating located at the southern end of Deansgate, Manchester with Castlefield close by.

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas.
I am approaching this with anthropological precision.
Here are a few observations.
You haven’t got this quite right Chris.
We asked for £90m - which is the cost of an 80% furlough & self-employed scheme.
We were offered £60m - 66% of our ask, the same that pub staff in Heywood & Middleton are deemed to be worth.
You can vote to change that today. Will you?
I owe my career in stand up to @frogandbucket . I answered the phones in the office, did my first gig at Beat The Frog and a decade on was lucky enough to my tour shows there. It’s hugely significant to me personally and to the rest of the comedy circuit.
Comedy is an artform and deserves to be treated as such. Without access to financial support comedy will not exist as we know it.

I would have hoped that someone at the BBC would understand that there are two ways of making fun of
human behaviour
One is to attack it directly.
The other is to have someone who is patently a figure of fun, speak up on behalf of that behaviour
