Now it becomes a matter of negotiation whether you are going into lockdown or not?

So maybe Burnham is just waiting for an improved offer? |
Burnham supports National Lockdown, just like Starmer.

Urging the government to pursue a different course and consider a return to stringent England-wide restrictions, the Greater Manchester mayor said: "I've said it may be that we need to look at a national circuit break as preferable to this unfunded, risky regional lockdown strategy.
"We have to protect the health of the nation but let's do it as one nation, and not make the north of England the sacrificial lamb for an ill-thought-through Downing Street policy which doesn't make sense in the real world."
Mr Burnham claimed Prof Van-Tam had told Greater Manchester leaders that "the only certain thing to work is a national lockdown".
"But the government told us this morning it is unwilling to do that because of the damage it will do to the national economy," he said.
"And yet that is what they want to impose on the North West."
