It's not Andy Burnham they've humiliated, it's themselves. It's not Andy Burnham they've insulted, it's the people of Greater Manchester.
FUN FACT. The Manchester deal failed because the government wasn't prepared to pay another £5m to help people survive, or 0.042% of the £12bn they/ve spent on the failed Test and Trace.
to put it into perspective, the £22 million the government is providing to support businesses in Greater Manchester during an actual pandemic is £30 million less than Boris Johnson spent on a bridge that doesn't exist in London

WHAT YOU CAN WRITE A BIG CHEQUE FOR:
£100bn for Operation Moonshot
£12bn for failed Test & Trace
£3bn+ to pals for PPE that often doesn’t work
£1bn+ for post-Brexit border
£7k a day management consultants
WHAT YOU CAN’T WRITE A CHEQUE FOR:

Nadhim Zahawi tells @TimesRadio that it is not just as simple as “writing a big cheque” to pay for free school meals over the course of half term.
Manchester would have got the money they needed if they'd rebranded as:
◾️ A company with no expertise making PPE run by a pal of a minister
◾️ Management consultants for Test & Trace
◾️ A Tory donor wanting to avoid planning fees
◾️ A private company wanting to run Test & Trace

This is pant-wettingly ridiculous, obviously, but it does offer opportunities to use 'antidisestablishmentarianism' with a straight face.
Boris Johnson should consider disestablishing the Church of England if controversy over its senior clergy's political interventions continues, Steve Baker tells The Times.

In ten years in Parliament I’ve never seen anything like this. MPs are on a call with the Health Secretary being told Greater Manchester is getting only £22m while our Mayor is at a press conference being told by the media. This is bad faith, it’s immoral - just disgraceful
We were told £22m is for test and trace, not a single extra penny promised to help businesses and minimum wage workers. The Government appears to be waging war on the people of Greater Manchester. I grew up under Thatcher but I’ve honestly never seen anything like this

NEW: Matt Hancock has just told Greater Manchester MPs they'll get £22m package (£8 per head) - and that's it.
I'm told Tory MPs on call, including William Wragg, "kicking off" at Health Secretary.
👀 Surely there must be more support for biz coming?

The toxic ecosystem of Fox News, right wing talk radio, and right wing facebook which many Trump supporters only listen to is doing such incredible damage to truth and our democracy. You have a substantial group of citizens who actually believe lies are the truth.

BREAKING: Government insists Manchester’s £22 million support package is actually very generous, as that sort of money could run a failed test and trace system for over 14 minutes.
After being offered ‘an olive branch’ by the EU, Boris Johnson is urged to accept it as it might be the last thing we get that passes any form of food standards.

For £8 a head for Greater Manchester to hailed as "generous" by Boris Johnson - the £22m for test and trace, not jobs or hit businesses - is a Prime Minister revealing he doesn't care about the North.

WOW. So, at Midday, the gov't offered Manchester £60m. That figure has now been reduced back down to their initial offer of £22m.
This is an blatantly explicit punishment beating. It'll cost lives, because it will affect compliance.

Is this a game of poker? Is this what it's about? Controlled fury fm @AndyBurnhamGM as Boris cancels cash offer to Manchester. Game-changing cos (for once) Nicola's not on the 'naughty' step & Burnham's angry defiance has united both sides of the Brexit divide in the North.
Andy Burnham absolutely letting rip at the government for withholding the support Manchester needs... looking like the Clark Kent of Stockport. 😍

to put it into perspective, the £22 million the government is providing to support businesses in Greater Manchester during an actual pandemic is £30 million less than Boris Johnson spent on a bridge that doesn't exist in London

Serious question if scotland Wales and Northern Ireland have to ask Westminster for a referendum to leave the UK. Who do England ask if they want it ??
Remember when the tories said they'd unite the UK and now Kent is part of France, everybody is banned from Wales and we're about to declare war on Manchester

When our so-called leaders make empty climate promises you write about it. But when they the next second sign away our future? Not a word.
Does it really take half of California or New South Wales to burn to the ground for the media to cover the climate crisis?

In the midst of a climate & ecological emergency the EU is about to lock nearly €400bn into a new agricultural policy, completely ignoring climate & biodiversity. And no-one even reports about it!? Even a child knows this isn't how democracy is supposed to work. #FutureofCAP
Never mind Scotland, Northern Ireland, or Wales. Westminster won’t even cooperate with or listen to Manchester. 😟

Jenrick. £25 million to his 103,000 constituency - no Covid crisis. (£275 per constituent) Greater Manchester £22 mill (£7.85 per person) - Covid crisis deaths and job losses (cHalf what was offered to Merseyside & Lancs). See the problem?
If Jenrick can sign a check for £25M for his own constituency town (Newark pop 35K) then it doesn’t seem unreasonable to sign a check for £65M for 2.8M people. I think we know who’s at fault in our current Kleptocracy.
£8 per person in Greater Manchester. An absolute disgrace, I am disgusted. Meanwhile, consultants are getting paid £7,000 per day for test & trace.
@BorisJohnson you will be personally responsible for driving people in my constituency and across GM into destitution and poverty.

Even if the government claims they are not responsible for sending thugs to attack protesters, burn national assets and destroy cars, standing aside and doing nothing while these thugs do the job they have been paid to do is deliberate negligence. I blame the government. #EndSars
People should understand that the reason Covid has returned to Britain is the deliberate destruction of a public health system. So I am announcing again that my ITV film, 'The Dirty War on the NHS', is available to watch, free of charge. It tells you why.
My film, The Dirty War on the NHS, is now available to watch, free - bit.ly/34pOA1x. First broadcast last December, it foretold the willful disabling and privatising of Britain's pioneering health service, leaving it unable to cope with Covid. And this vandalism goes on. pic.twitter.com/UhfW1R9AV4
