Zack Polanski(@ZackPolanski):Andy Burnham holds up his running of Greater Manchester as his vision for the country. Let’s hope not. It’s great if you’re a property developer looking for handouts for rip off flats. People before profit. Vote for a Green Mayor on 30th July.

The Manchester Model has been so focused on building flats for private rent - many owned by overseas investors - that @_isaacrose called it “the neoliberal metropolis”... Now its mayor says he believes in ending neoliberalism. All very strange for those of us who live here.
