Fun fact: Manchester United’s famous nickname was borrowed from Salford RLFC.

Now the city’s amateur rugby league clubs are fighting to survive, and a rescued cup might help.

Proud to see so many @millmediauk colleagues nominated at this year’s British Journalism Awards

Particularly happy to see my work shortlisted in the local and political journalism categories (along with @joshi and @lucyymclaughlin, who only joined the team this year - crazy)

[Joshi Herrmann @joshi]

So pleased to be shortlisted in the Politics category at the British Journalism Awards for our reporting on Burnham and Manchester.

And incredibly proud that my @millmediauk colleagues have SIX nominations, mixing it with some very big news companies.

But the lack of outright condemnation from Tameside Reform for Cllr Dunning's comments has shocked some, while others have accused Tameside Labour of pointing figures with unclean hands, pointing to the party's own chequered history...

An ITV investigation exposed racism in Reform — did it also expose hypocrisy in Labour?

The documentary showed Reform figures across the UK espousing racist and sexist views, including Tameside councillor Raymond Dunning. He's resigned and is now an Independent...

Spent the morning wishing I got more cups of tea with Pat Karney

A giant of Manc politics who treated me with the same mix of goodwill and scepticism as I did him. Which is as it should be

The attacks have divided Salford, prompting public outrage, as well as praise, across social media. The message, scrawled in black paint over doors and walls - "NO HMOs" - appears unambiguous, but the facts behind it are considerably less so.

‘Migrant HMOs’ in Salford are under attack. But is everything as it seems?

We spoke to a woman whose home has been targeted. She's black and says she doesn't live in an HMO at all - she and her four kids were asleep when their windows shattered. Her new car was damaged too.

Shein has failed to green-wash and charity-wash its horrific record. We caught them trying out Manchester-washing

The report was commissioned in light of our reporting last year, which uncovered the "sleazy" behaviour of senior officials at a 2024 awards ceremony.

Managers spoke openly of "hatred of Muslims and non-whites."

A young apprentice was repeatedly sexually harassed by a senior colleague until she was forced to leave the council — while “he was allowed to stay."

EXCLUSIVE: Report finds “toxic” harassment and “boys’ club” culture at Manchester council.

We've obtained an internal document alleging widespread inappropriate behaviour by senior staff. It's based on an "unparalleled" investigation by an outside firm.

Hanks' solicitor denies that he ever claimed The Mill bribed his company, but we head back to our offices, determined to get to the bottom of what's going on.

Ever since The Mill wrote an article on Educate and Empower, the fundraisers in navy jackets who people on Reddit often accuse of being a scam, there's one question we've been itching to know: what's been happening inside their office since we published?

The inside story of Manchester's relationship with Abu Dhabi: I've written a big piece with @jackdulhanty and @AlecHerron about the scandal engulfing City and how it forces Andy Burnham to embrace Real Manchesterism...
