I think he's saying, if central govt/Westminster aren't going to give us money I'll take it from elsewhere. He would probably say he hasn't got the luxury of saying no because there aren't any other offers and he's got people without roofs over their head or food on the table, not least because Manchester is somewhere people want to live and they're having to handle the London migration and its impact on availability and price. 🤷

After 50 years of corruption being at the heart of the brand for both the GOP in the U.S. and the Tories in the U.K., my opinion is your political party can be compassionate, or it can be "conservative" -- but it's not possible for it to be both.

The Bank of England raising interest rates isn't really targeted at individual consumers, I would imagine. Perhaps it's different in the UK, but here in the US the Fed raising interest rates mostly slows down business expansion and large investments in securities, putting a drag on the economy overall by making the large piles of money a little slower. Do you know what's causing your high inflation? Over here it was about 50% corporate profiteering with some contributions from the pent up covid demand and supply chain issues.
@jsrodman

The profiteering is lots of places. In the UK, a big chunk of the profiteering is in things that should be publically run like power and heat, but have been given out to pirates. And yes, that is inflationary, and the UK govt should stop it but choose not to because of cronyism.

I take Andy Burnham's point, and agree, that asking him if he would return to Westminster sort of implies that it is the BEST or ONLY place to do real politics. However, many of us also wonder or hope that he might return there because *we don't live in Manchester* and we envy having a decent politician influencing what goes on in our lives! OTOH, I do think returning would have a chilling effect on how he conducts the day to day of his political work and there probably ought to be a real discussion about why that is.

On Windrush, can I recommend some reading? Akala's Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire was excellent. I need to re-read it actually, memory needs a refresh, wondering how much it influenced a lot of how I see things these days. I love seeing Coco and Nish Nish's passion and Coco's bubbliness is infectious. About time a watchable show about UK politics is produced. I swear they make TV either too insider or too boring for most to bother turning in. PMQs? Andrew Marr? Pass.

Can any manchester locals (manchesterites?) tell us a bit or two about whether bringing the busses under public control is likely to bear out in any sort of changes? I ask as a foreigner who cares a lot about public transit and feels like reliable frequent service has a huge impact on outcomes for lower incomes and quality of life. Not enough for sure, but a sorely needed trend.

As much as we appreciate the importance of changing the country from the ground up you can’t say that we need proportional representation and prop up a Labour leader that shuts down all consideration of electoral reform. Everyone’s always talking about electability but Starmer is not electable, he’s the embodiment of second choice and we need somebody that people other than university Labour society presidents will be willing to get behind

Andy Burnham is much better now then he was back in Parliament, when he was a pretty milktoast, cautious Austerity-lite supporter. Glad he broke from that. Anyway, the North/South divide thing is kind of bollocks - the problem is wealth differentials under capitalism, and in this country in particular. I mean, London does suck up a lot of people and resources, but it has dire poverty alongside great wealth. The highest rates of child poverty in the country, for example, are in Tower Hamlets. The lowest wages, and highest overall rates of poverty are in west Wales and Cornwall, where I come from. Look at the Preston Model for a superb locally focused Labour council. We need more devolution, a restructuring and reindustrializing of the economy around a Green New Deal, spread all over - and more municipal socialism.

I would argue that there is a bit of a London/ South East centric focus in the "national" media, which has an influence on policy. This is especially highlighted when there are floods in the North but central gov does not care until it hits Oxfordshire.
