If you enjoyed this - and you think journalism with a local perspective is valuable - please join @ManchesterMill.

It costs just £8.90, and in the coming weeks you'll get our members-only Burnham Blueprint series, with loads of insight from our team.

Excellent piece that feels much closer to how I feel about Burnham than anything else in the flurry of reporting in the last couple of weeks.

[The Mill @ManchesterMill]

Stop looking for Burnhamism - in six years, I’ve never found.

Watching the mayor up close in Manchester, I’ve seen his unusual gifts and glaring weaknesses. Would he make a good prime minister?

On Friday night, we got a bizarre legal threat from Shabana Mahmood's special advisor: if we didn't agree to pull our planned story by 9pm, we would face a high court injunction.

I suspect he thought he could bully @brumdispatch because it's a local publication. He was wrong!

[Richard Heap @Richard_Heap]

For anyone in the Greater Manchester area, a Mill sub is well worth the money. Well written local journalism. No ads.

[Joshi Herrmann @joshi]

I ask @millmediauk staff writers to write 4 stories a month. One a week. For me that feels like the right mix of working really intensely to get the story done and also giving writers enough time to find new stuff and offer new insights. Readers seem to appreciate that.

[Joshi Herrmann @joshi]

It’s become almost routine that when you’re in a tight spot legally, Dan will support and get the word out to his massive following. He did the same over Andrew Milne. We’ve never spoken or met but this kind of behaviour is the good side of social media and much appreciated.

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

It’s just wrong that any nutter can file a libel claim, with no real basis at all, and that lands the defendant with £20k+ costs (which they’ll likely never recover)

[Joshi Herrmann @joshi]

🗞️ 50,000 copies of @ManchesterMill are hitting the streets of Manchester. Huge stories, brilliant writing, and an impossibly generous offer that anyone can join as a member for a £ they choose.

[Richard Heap @Richard_Heap]

Great opening salvo from @ManchesterMill here

Despite my leanings, I’m professionally obliged to say:

1. That’s what a symbol f-ing does
2. You don’t need to spell out any of this
3. It looks like a spread from the brand guidelines that somehow made it onto the stadium

🇬🇹 | One year into the presidency of Bernardo #Arévalo, the Guatemalan government has struggled to advance anti-corruption reform. Our latest investigation explains why it is hard to promote an anti-graft agenda in a country where corruption is the norm. https://t.co/NktLzgKlIe

@molssimp Thanks.

Central America is facing a health crisis due to #screwworm, which is spreading through illegal cattle ranching and trafficking. This could have serious implications for Mexico, the main exporter of meat to the US. Learn more about this illicit market. https://t.co/6dBe4xaol5

@joshi @jlaverick99 @ophiragottlieb When you put your left arm in, your left arm out
In, out, in, out, you shake it all about
You do the wokey cokey and you turn around
That's what it's all about

Woah-oh, the wokey cokey
Woah-oh, the wokey cokey
Woah-oh, the wokey cokey

Los barriletes son portales de comunicación con el cosmos y nuestros ancestros, son parte del lenguaje del cielo que se mueve con el viento.

Las flores amarillas marcan el cambio de tiempo para recibir a nuestros seres queridos que viajan desde muy lejos para visitarnos.

Gracias una , dos y tres veces a la creatividad del universo.

Be a good time to retrain as a roofer.

A reminder that far more of these events are "baked in" to our future climate. So we are not just dealing with stopping the worst from happening but planning for what's already on its way
