🚨 I've listened to Andy Burnham's 10 year speech, where he looks Britain's new saviour in Zelenski uniform, bragging about what a success Greater Manchester is with my mouth open.

You would be forgiven for thinking Greater Manchester was close to perfect, an example to everyone of how his fantastic policies have worked.

Does he seriously think most of Greater Manchester is a success? or that he contributed to a shiny business sector, 2 world class football teams and the largest Uni in the country? because outside that...

▪️Nearly 1 in 4 GM neighbourhoods are in the most deprived 10% nationally.

▪️Half of GM’s local authority areas are among England’s 30 most deprived.

▪️Manchester city is ranked 4th most deprived English local authorities.

▪️In 2024, 16.2% of jobs in Greater Manchester workplaces paid below the real Living Wage = 193,000 low-paid jobs.

▪️Temporary accommodation is around 5,915 households, with 8,600 children in temporary accommodation.

▪️Around 12,700 long-term empty homes were identified across the city-region.

▪️4 of the 10 highest recorded crime local authorities in England are in Greater Manchester

▪️Educational achievements are below national average

▪️Manchester city area above national unemployment levels

▪️1 in 8 working age people get PIP, above the national average

▪️The GM area has a lower household disposable income than the national average

▪️34% increase in rough sleeping

▪️Violent crime and sexual offences are above the national average.

▪️grooming gangs? or is we still ignoring these?

▪️Drug-related death rates in Greater Manchester are significantly above the national average

Oh and now lets talk about debt. Bravo Andy... to achieve some of the highest deprivation in the country under his leadership, GMCA now has about £1.4 BILLION of gross debt and an underlying borrowing need of roughly £2.5 BILLION.

So his speech on "Hopes and dreams" is actually more like 'No hope and nightmares', his leafy suburbs and shiny city buildings can't really hide the truth.

You're welcome.

@Mobyhaque1 Macca cannot play premier league football anymore

[Robert @ricikles]

@originaltof @lfc_fan_view The absolute arrogance of you and other groups. Approaching people spending their money by the way. Telling them there’s a protest, don’t spend. That is borderline intimidation Having a ST is not a birth right. Don’t go. Simple.

[Robert @ricikles]

@Nick___Collins The arrogance of you Nick. Going is not a birth right. It’s choice. Just maybe another fan would sing louder than u. ST holders love that line, if another fan sat in my seat they wouldn’t sing the song right. Entitled Bollox. Don’t renew then. Give someone else the opportunity

[Robert @ricikles]

@satsunmontue @LeagueTitle_19 @sharkhello @spiritofshankly Entitled santamonious prick. Crying cause the club doesn’t buy the next big thing then crying cause your tickets are going up a few quid. The Hypocrisy is stomach turning. Don’t pay the extra and go when u can afford it. After all you said it’s easy to get tickets if arsed.

[Robert @ricikles]

@jonburkeUK Embarrassingly inaccurate post. Fuckin thickit.

[Robert @ricikles]

@satsunmontue @sharkhello @spiritofshankly rubbish. No chance of tickets for PL. have tried many times this year. You are right, I don’t want to watch 3rd round of LC. I have to pay north of £500 to guarantee two tickets. So only go 1 time a year. ST holders think anyone without a ST are influencers. Utter arrogance.

[Robert @ricikles]

@satsunmontue @sharkhello @spiritofshankly Listen to your arrogance. So what if it goes to highest bidder. I’ve been one. Don’t have an instagram account. But took photos to remember my experience. Have applied many times for PL tickets. No chance.

[Robert @ricikles]

@sharkhello @spiritofshankly Exactly 👍🏻. As a lifelong fan I would love a ST would happily pay double or triple prices. The lucky ones with, have got life time guaranteed entry to games. It’s not a birthright. If u can’t afford it don’t go. Same as if club can’t afford a new player they don’t buy him.

[Robert @ricikles]

@HasAhmed_ Bitter prick

[Robert @ricikles]

@ATLiverpool_ You’re talking like Alonso is German. He’s Spanish btw. Already had the biggest job in Spain. Got sacked with a 71% win rate cause Mbappe didn’t like him.

@GraemeKelly1 Midfield is garbage. Weak. Defensively poor. Squad needs gutting out.
