Poor - and biased - response from Andy Burnham on Manchester City being found guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules by an Independent Commission.

He says “I can’t intervene *more* in the process,” which requires an explanation in itself.

Then offers commentary on previous proceedings he felt was unfair, AND states he wouldn’t want to lose the club’s owners who have “been such a huge partner in the building of modern Manchester. Obviously, the building of Manchester City into the global force that it is.”

How was that force built?

And on the investment into the city itself, per a 2022 Guardian report: “Nine sites were sold to Sheikh Mansour at a fraction of their value, and well below what other plots nearby fetched. They were on leases lasting 999 years, well beyond the norm. And the fund shifted what had been public assets to companies registered in Jersey.

“That walk along the water from New Islington into Ancoats now passes blocks of privatised land owned in an offshore tax haven, which yields millions upon millions for a key member of the wealthy elite running a surveillance state halfway across the globe. One of the greatest cities in the world has sold itself to a senior figure in a brutal autocracy – and not even for a good price.”

I remember someone tweeting at the start of Lucy Letby’s trial that if she was innocent or guilty, both outcomes would be horrific. Either we have someone wrongly accused of such heinous crimes or we have the most trusted of carers capable of unspeakable evil. Back then we didn’t know the great lengths people like Dr Ravi Jayaram went to stop her, and was not only ignored but ordered to apologise to her and work alongside her so she could continue murder to babies. Those involved in the latter should all be sacked, imo.
