Genuinely a bit difficult to put into words what Sir Howard Bernstein’s legacy has been and will be in Manchester and well beyond, although just a walk around the city centre provides a glimpse. An absolute behemoth of a municipal leader. RIP.

[paul horrocks @PaulHorrocks1]

A thoroughly honourable and kind man who will be sadly missed. Met him many times over the years, especially as Gtr Mcr Mayor and it was always clear he cared about people and their issues. Old style politician for the people - the best. RIP Sir Tony

Post Office lied and threatened BBC over Horizon whistleblower.

The whole PO Board must be held to account and fully investigated . https://t.co/ohbrlwgMxr

Should Paula Vennells be Prosecuted?

Yes or No

Fujitsu should make good after their dreadful Horizon wreaked such devastation - why is UK Govt still doing business with such a company ?

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey has made regular calls for public figures to resign from major public posts — 31 such demands are on his Twitter/X account since April 2019. Given what many see as his dereliction of duty in the sub-postmasters’ scandal he might look in the mirror for his 32nd. Just a thought.

Post Office scandal: Sunak would ‘strongly support’ review of ex-boss’s CBE —
Long overdue - why is it politicians only act when faced with mass protest? thanks once again to media pressure highlighting this dreadful miscarriage of justice https://t.co/Cb3Jm2RbWd

[Harry Yorke @HarryYorke1]

Exclusive: Alan Bates became so exasperated with Ed Davey (when post office minister) he stopped engaging with him

He told Davey in 2011: "having nailed your colours to [Post Office's] mast...there was little point in continuing a dialogue with you"

PO scandal: Met Police investigate 'potential fraud offences'. About time , so long overdue and all those innocent people ruined because no-one owned up. PO CEO honour should be removed and those to blame held properly accountable. Govt leadership needed https://t.co/mqbhhzAV7L

Agree - fireworks should only be sold to reputable organisations holding a public event . Why do we sell these explosives without licence ? Bonfires and fireworks can be a great spectacle— only in controlled circumstances.

[Gordon Burns @mrgordonburns]

Feel so sorry for pets and their owners tonight. It’s like World War Three outside with fireworks going off everywhere…massive bangs waking up kids and animals cowering. Fireworks should be banned except for special public occasions!

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

So, in other words, HS2 won’t go to Manchester and people in the North will be treated as second-class citizens - again?

What a disgrace.

Harold Riley - a man of Salford who dedicated his life's work to the city - a creative artist genius who mixed with the famous but never lost touch with his roots. Daughter Sara delivered a beautiful funeral eulogy . Dad would be proud . A true gentleman. https://t.co/Ssm10si4j3

Any abuse against the referee should mean sending off - it would only take a few matches for the message to get through with players on the sidelines.

[Peter Spencer @PeteSpencer007]

Why didn't the ref deal with that foul mouth rant from Robertson. Everyone could tell what he said...and you wonder why grassroots refs get it in the neck and like me are quitting
