“We have higher ambitions for the North than them" manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…

Reform is led by Londoners who haven’t had a lifetime of using railways in the North. So I suppose it’s no surprise that they think it’s fine for us to be stuck with a second-class railway while the south gets modern, high-speed lines.👇🏻 We have higher ambitions for the North.

"They were the cheer leaders for privatisation & deregulation in the 1980s. Thats left us with high water bills, high energy bills, unaffordable rail fares.. & what I would say to my party is, don't lean in their direction" Andy Burnham on Reform

Rising productivity is the lifeblood of a thriving economy, under the Tories it flatlined. If we don’t turn that around Britain’s future is at stake. In Manchester Andy Burnham is showing it can be done. Chris Curtis MP says it’s time for SW1 to pay attention. 🔗👇

Hard to take this in. Ricky was much loved by so many in Greater Manchester. He was the kind of person who would always turn up for people, supporting so many causes. He made us smile and made us proud. We will find a way of honouring him properly. Rest in peace, Champ. 💪🏻

So saddened to hear this news, particularly as I was only talking about Tony’s impact on my life days ago in my The New Statesman interview. We have lost a true giant of English literature and one of the North’s most powerful voices. Sending my love to Tony’s family and friends. 🙏🏻

We are pleased to say this week’s strike action has been suspended on two of three Bee Network operators, with the third to consider the proposal tomorrow. Our thanks go to colleagues who have worked through the weekend towards this agreement. 🙏🏻

“I was really pleased to see Lucy Powell go out there first and say we do need to remove that two child benefit cap. She’s got my strong support for Deputy leader, I hope she’s got yours too” Andy Burnham 👏

Wonderful to meet with Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham today to discuss wealth inequality and how we can effectively tax wealth to address it. Huge thanks to the team involved.

We stand with everyone in Greater Manchester in light of the horrific attack which occurred yesterday in Heaton Park. Our hearts go out to the Jewish community and all those affected.

Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson is appealing to all those who might be intending to protest this weekend to consider whether this is really the right time, in light of the tragic incident on Middleton Road, Crumpsall yesterday.

Greater Manchester came together yesterday in mourning and in solidarity with our Jewish friends and neighbours, following the appalling antisemitic attack on Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue.

An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. That is the firm foundation on which our city region is built, and that is the principle that unites us across our communities. That is who we are, and we will not let this break us.
