Since we published yesterday's story about Sacha Lord on The Mill, we've been asking Greater Manchester Combined Authority what they are doing to investigate the allegations against Andy Burnham's most prominent advisor. So far nothing - not even a confirmation they are investigating. Why?

Why isn’t Andy Burnham answering questions about Sacha Lord? …and why didn’t the MEN report the story when it was sent to them in late 2022? Joshi Herrmann with the latest on a developing story, as more details emerge - and Lord threatens to sue The Mill. manchestermill.co.uk/p/why-isnt-and…

Music Recommendation

I’ve never been so popular as when rumours fly around. ☎️ No, no significant intel about disorder in the city . 🐂💩 Lots of socials spreading misinformation. 🤡 I wish messages like “use a litter bin” and “eat more fruit” went across town so quickly.

Gary Neville is the perfect mascot for Grey Labour: a landlord whose vast property empire is single-handedly turning Manchester into an unaffordable, personality-less nightmare. My brother lived and worked in Manchester and Salford for several years. Everyone hates Neville

Exclusive: Documents show how Sacha Lord’s company managed to obtain more than £400,000 of public money during the pandemic …and that Primary Events requested £10,500 of emergency funding to redesign a website. Jack Dulhanty got the Arts Council assessment documents.
