@patriotmediauk@FFS_WhatNow@PolitlcsUK There's an argument that some of this may have happened anyway, but you can't say Burnham has been promising things to Manchester. He's so popular because he's actually delivered the fastest growth rates in the country and the more improved transport network
@patriotmediauk@FFS_WhatNow@PolitlcsUK Not my experience with Burnham. I support him as he's made me personally better off. He helped open a new office for my work in the city. I lived in a regenerated area in Manchester, before then moving to a suburb that now has a tram. None of this existed pre Burnham.
The left wing vote efficiency Burnham delivers is insane. Labour will win the next election. 10 years without the Tories/Teal Tories. Actual time to get investment sorted and see the results. Feels good
@FFS_WhatNow@PolitlcsUK I agree the min. wage is too high for the youngest to get jobs. I think apprenticeships have a different wage rate plus there is plenty of support for businesses to take on apprentices (and this will likely expand).
In terms of job creation - https://t.co/XjLjDDUIxD
@patriotmediauk@FFS_WhatNow@PolitlcsUK Investment - into transport, regeneration, energy infrastructure, new housing development (all massive parts of Andy's agenda and what he's already delivered in Manchester to some extent).
And working with the private sector to fund apprentices, (he's also done this lots already

“Labour has structural problems. Burnham doesn’t solve those!”
Absolutely.
Equally, if he stops any more HMOs, funds British transport police and has policies which visibly tackle vape shops and flytipping, he’ll win Saddam style majority in seats Labour are presently losing.
Blokes are so funny man "it's the best speech ever" and he's just doing that thing where fellas have a great time naming old sports players to each other !
Yes but - Boris Johnson's fairly enduring popularity even through forcibly locking up the entire country for years on end shows that personality can maintain you quite a lot!
Labour left ecstatic but don’t realise that the public hate Starmer not for the reasons they do, but because they’ve laid the blame for structural issues at his feet. Burnham will inherit them & without the will or ability to fix anything will in short order be just as unpopular

Just to let you all know I am going to be wearing vintage suit trousers, Dr Martens and a tastefully selected vintage England top and drinking a craft beer in your local pub and there's nothing you do about it!
