Re: Coronavirus
Well he didn't turn down £60 million, he said he wanted £65 million.
Since the Government can ultimately decide to just impose these restrictions anyway it feels punitive to the people of Manchester to deny them the extra support as a punishment for their Mayor asking for more. Not sure Tories gloating about it well go down well.

Re: Coronavirus
Looks like Manchester got shafted.
Bojo asked 5 times about extra support and all he did was waffle.

Indeed. There’s little funny about poor people struggling in a pandemic.

And it is not as if he is being guided by the science because they were advising him on 21 September of a national lockdown or "circuit breaker" and he ignored them.
I voted for this man and his government, because he was the much better person than the opposition but he is absolutely out of his depth on this pandemic. Manchester and it's surrounding areas and towns have been in some form of lockdown for over two months, it has NOT worked and this Tier 3 will not work, people will defy him and I do not blame them if and when they do.

Re: Coronavirus
£60 million 'still on the table' if the Mayor wants it.

Looks like Burnham shafted Manchester if the £60m offer is true.

According to the link, the £60m is for businesses. This may be a distinction with which Burnham is not content.

It was always for businesses, it's that Burnham wanted more for closing them down.

Re: Coronavirus
They shouldn't have been offered the £60m in the first place. There should be a standard formula. Otherwise:-

Re: Coronavirus
As Mick quite rightly says the losers in this are the ordinary people. The vast majority of whom did not vote for either Burnham or Johnson’s party
Grown men politicking is neither helpful nor wanted.
As my dear departed dad used to say “ They need their heads banging together “

So £22m + plus whatever the other amount comes to.
Was the £60m also 'on top of', or include the other (unspecified) amount.

The £22m is specific to the Tier 3 lockdown. The £1bn is for all councils, whatever tier they are in.

That kind of sums up the BoJo years.

Re: Coronavirus
Hmm, yes, Ive read a few more articles since, and it does seem that the £60m is extra to everything else, and apparently, still available to them.

Hardly, hes not been in power a year yet.
However, its degenerated in the last few months.
For a party that supposedly supports business, they seem determined to destroy as many as they can.
