But how much of Burnham's efforts will continue to shaft Middle England? Economic growth is #1.

Economic growth is never No 1 to a Brexiteer. Sovereignty is. Interestingly, the UK's economy actually grew last month when it was expected to shrink. And wage growth is exceeding the rise in the cost of living. But Starmer js not getting the message across.
Manchester seems to be an attractive destination for businesses and its airport and trams are efficient and growing. Burnham seems effective at getting cash out of central government but what would he do when in power? He would be a better communicator and be more likeable than Starmer but there's far more to the job than that.
