They've just taken £40m off the table without any consultation. They're throwing money at their friends companies under the guise of PPE, but they're not anywhere close to funding the cities.

People have to stop voting tory.

Because that's a costed minimum which was felt to be needed.
Not just by Burnham but all others in the region helping advise of the cost.

He'd come down from 75 million.
He moved..
This dictatorship we have in power now didn't.
Except to remove their so called offer.
An offer they likely KNEW couldn't be acceptable because it just wasn't enough.

This is the man who authorised 1 million to put paint on an aeroplane.

It's a disgrace.
A form of what should be unacceptable dictatorship.

I think Manchester was about 70% labour, ust like Liverpool, which is why they're not arsed. Same as regeneration money has been going into wealthy southern tory constituencies, not the ones that need it.

Johnson Concluded he does not want a
National Lockdown.
He will not rule it out, though

He did
46mins with his 2 helpers,

Cases are now levelling off/decreasing amongst students/younger people at least so this may also be the case in older age groups in a few weeks time

[AnnieK]

Our numbers are shocking although some of the areas are reducing but they are too high. They have been reducing in some areas week on week and so hopefully that will continue. I imagine there may be some protests on the back of this though sadly.

No Burnham is
take the 60million pounds - he should have


But no it must be Just £5million more

[reece(:]

The North East numbers are exponentially larger around the student districts, surprised it’s not similar in Manchester?

But maybe that’s why it’s been hush hush about us going into Tier 3... unless we are who Boris is lining up to punish next.

[bitontheslide]

the 20 million is for track and trace ... the business support is in addition to that and will be proportionate to what other regions have received, which puts it at 60 million compared to liverpools 30 million. Burnham didn't accept the money so Boris obviously cant yet say what Manchester are getting exactly

Those are the facts

Evil for wanting to protect the livelihood of his constituents? Ridiculous statement whilst Boris is carting billions to private companies that are fumbling track and trace. The lowest earners once again suffer from contemptuous tories.

I agree with some of the things but he was happily gambling on lives to blackmail Boris for the numbers he wanted Manchester should have been on lockdown weeks back as the hospitals are close to running out of beds

How does that work ??

It’s not WheelerDeeler ...surely the Government will have to stand by their best offer ..

yup and then you'd need to set up some more of those temporary hospitals again (like in the first wave what they did with Nightingale)

...I know, it’s easy to get lost in other aspects with the ‘financial support’, Annie...and the shock of that...but the figure graphs of infection are pretty grim......

[Kizzy]

Isn't it odd that when the govt were wasting 20 million on non existent or ineffective PPE that figure was nothing?...pin money. Now regions need that it's suddenly a massive investment in the north? :/

They've spaffed (to use a Borisism) over £3billion on PPE contracts, mostly to their friends on unconcontested awards. One company with only £46k in the bank was given a contract for nearly £200m.

I don't doubt that this pandemic has masked (pun intended) a lot of corruption.

The truth will out eventually.
