"What can he say?"

This, if he says why didn't the government listen to the advice from Sage on the 21st September which given the rise everywhere does show the latter were pretty spot on..

Some might think him being picky..

"Now the infection rates for GM area are out of control and going through the roof."

I agree.

Fri 30th Oct Figures per 100k:

Oldham - 703.5

Wigan - 687.4

Salford - 610.8

Rochdale - 591.7

Bolton - 569.6

Bury - 550.8

Tameside - 553.3

Manchester - 498.3

Trafford - 444.9

Stockport - 444.8

Some of the highest numbers in the country. Every single borough is up on previous weeks. These are enormous numbers that people seem to happy to bear consequences of. Instead clap for a guy having 10 minutes of fame over other counties heeding warnings and agreeing measures when asked.

What is the point in having local leaders if they wilfully dismiss numbers of a rapidly spreading virus - seemingly having no care for the safety of their residents for the sake of what; brinkmanship? The government had already given Liverpool an agreed sum and advised there was room left after furlough.

"Now the infection rates for GM area are out of control and going through the roof."

It’s been obvious to us working with Manchester’s covid patients for about 6 weeks that we where fast heading towards being in the shit. We knew it before, during and after the elongated talks about how to manage the issue and we knew we needed to shut down over a month ago.

All parties have fucked up, Burnham, Boris etc have all caused a delay which will extend the lockdown we obviously need and in turn will cost us a stack of lives too.

The one lesson we should have learned from the first peak is just how sharp the up curve is compared to the shallow down curve when it comes to infections, admissions and deaths. The few weeks of delay will have cost us months.

I have a lot of time for Burnham but I think if truth be known people where pushing their political spotlight when actually we needed to shut down and negotiate at the same time, those two weeks have cost us a huge amount in admissions, it’s going to be a tough time getting Manchester back from the rates we are seeing currently.

True, but let’s be honest, tier 3 lockdown was never going to sufficiently slow down the infection rate

Correct, one day Boris might realise that viruses don’t compromise... as painful as it is you just have to identify what it will take and commit fully to it.

It depends where you put your attention. What do you want your elected representative to do, when most powers aren't in their control?

We have not followed the expert scientific advice that we have paid for and have just missed the opportunity to close things whilst schools were in their holidays, which can be the meeting points for kids and adults.

The longer we don't do effective things to stop the virus infecting more people, the harder it then becomes to try to regain lost ground.

The numbers of people infected is doubling every 8 or 9 days, so we have doubled numbers several times over since the experts were clear that we had to stop that by a short lockdown. If you'd had 1 million people infected then, it would probably be 8 million people now. There comes a point where you will struggle to be able to contain things when you have made chaos through your many systems that help to support life.

So if therenhad been a national lockdown his constituents would have been locked down and that was OK. If he had a local lockdown His constituents would have been locked down and that is not OK. I fail to see the difference. Other than playing politics with his constituents.

His arguments were more about the financial side, pretty sure him being an ex government minister he knows what lockdown means..

Even when tier 3 isn't and what's coming which is what he wanted is..

He's been fully committed to the support of his constituents and the local economy. If you are as committed as you sound and he is, I'm guessing you can fill us in on the outputs he's made. You're a fan on twitter etc? There has been some consensus in the region between various parties. Remember that the experts weren't stating that the scientific evidence needed Tiers but a short sharp lockdown.

He wanted a national lockdown where every person in England will be treated the same eg furlough and other financial assistance the government was offering. Why should one part of the country be treated differently to another?

"I'd hazard a guess if Burnham had been a Conservative elected mayor we would not have heard a squeek out of him. His delaying tactics will have a massive impact on the long game for both the NHS and local business. His current silence speaks volumes

I doubt it , he wanted a national lockdown , why wasn’t one imposed 2 weeks ago?

So if therenhad been a national lockdown his constituents would have been locked down and that was OK. If he had a local lockdown His constituents would have been locked down and that is not OK. I fail to see the difference. Other than playing politics with his constituents.

I don’t understand what you mean? He wanted a national lockdown not a local tier 3 lockdown, it looks like tier 3 doesn’t work and we are going into a national lockdown

He resisted a local lock down. Where his people are locked down. But it's OK to lock his people down so long as the rest of the country is also locked down? Doesn't make any sense. Now its not great either way im just pointing out that saying we don't want a lock down because we want more money and then saying but it will be acceptable if everyone to be locked down is odd.

He wanted a national lockdown where every person in England will be treated the same eg furlough and other financial assistance the government was offering. Why should one part of the country be treated differently to another? "

Well that;s a lie get your facts right he wanted more money that was his reason for refusing Tier 3 he was offered the same as other areas proportionality and wanted more and got 5 million more he just wanted even more than that.

"Now the infection rates for GM area are out of control and going through the roof.

I agree.

Fri 30th Oct Figures per 100k:

Oldham - 703.5

Wigan - 687.4

Salford - 610.8

Rochdale - 591.7

Bolton - 569.6

Bury - 550.8

Tameside - 553.3

Manchester - 498.3

Trafford - 444.9

Stockport - 444.8

Some of the highest numbers in the country. Every single borough is up on previous weeks. These are enormous numbers that people seem to happy to bear consequences of. Instead clap for a guy having 10 minutes of fame over other counties heeding warnings and agreeing measures when asked.

What is the point in having local leaders if they wilfully dismiss numbers of a rapidly spreading virus - seemingly having no care for the safety of their residents for the sake of what; brinkmanship? The government had already given Liverpool an agreed sum and advised there was room left after furlough."

Clearly local lockdown and people in those areas have disregarded the rules set out.

"Now the infection rates for GM area are out of control and going through the roof.

It’s been obvious to us working with Manchester’s covid patients for about 6 weeks that we where fast heading towards being in the shit. We knew it before, during and after the elongated talks about how to manage the issue and we knew we needed to shut down over a month ago.

All parties have fucked up, Burnham, Boris etc have all caused a delay which will extend the lockdown we obviously need and in turn will cost us a stack of lives too.

The one lesson we should have learned from the first peak is just how sharp the up curve is compared to the shallow down curve when it comes to infections, admissions and deaths. The few weeks of delay will have cost us months.

I could be wrong but I thought Burnham supported a national lockdown ?

I have a lot of time for Burnham but I think if truth be known people where pushing their political spotlight when actually we needed to shut down and negotiate at the same time, those two weeks have cost us a huge amount in admissions, it’s going to be a tough time getting Manchester back from the rates we are seeing currently.

Ok if someone has you blocked then you cannot ask them to unblock/ ask them why you are blocked/ discuss that block on the forum.

If a person is blocked by you or they have blocked you, you can still quote their posts/ answer their posts and vice versa as sometimes we wouldn't know who had blocked us anyway

What you can't do is constantly attack others or cause mayhem to someone who doesn't want to converse with you at all as it is disrupting for the forum so yes, that would be against forum rules

Because many areas had infections rates a tenth or less of GM why should those areas suffer when there was a fraction of infections.

France and germany have higher numbers of infections than us, from far less testing than we are doing,france far more cases they introduced local restrictions, now they have both gone for national restrictions, yet many in this country are still blaming everything on the government.

And let’s not get that mixed up with numbers

And what for your advice they been in lockdown month before and numbers was still meant to be going up

What people need do is get true figure on Hospital and death due to covid with no under lie conditions

And why isn’t Boris anywhere to be seen on giving public daily briefings

The government messed it all up and people try blaming Andy coz he wants who he represents a better deal

And last thing unless everyone gets tested and no one ever goes out again the virus is here to stay even with some vaccine

"Burnham wanted full circuit break back in September with full financial support. Not much more to say on the matter "

I don't remember him saying anything about a circuit break so had a google. Scrolling back a good few pages I Sept came up. This is from the 30th Sept, so quite late in Sept. Half way down - he was not in favour of a local circuit break (tiers), though could see the case for a national circuit break. He wanted household transmission more a focus, i.e track and trace?

Seeing the case for and wanting a circuit break are two totally different things.

He was right in what way? He wanted more money before he was going to consider locking down - he was making a stand for the entire country!

The nation could see it coming when cases were at 200 per 100k, which was good enough for Leicester to go into measures, simply Burnham nor residents couldn't.

Needing a national lockdown. Something politicians, scientists and many others have been saying for weeks. He was one of many who were right as we now look at the projections and face at least four weeks of lockdown rather than two to deal with this problem.

Yeah amazing they didn't want to catch it or had concern they might be a National lockdown and their business might be shut. Amazing that.

Other Mayors or Councils went into lockdown agreeing sums without issue straight after Manchester. Lancashire, Yorkshire, Humberside, Birmingham, Oxford. He stood up to the clown whilst increasing the viral load on residents and as people could travel through work increased risk on neighbouring Counties. Clown.

The link from aboutmanchester above is Manchester's information hub. It states 'he could see the case for a national lockdown', not that he wanted one, he was more interested in track and trace. Back in early Sept cases were at 200 then rose to 5/600. If he didn't want a lockdown or see the consequence of rising numbers on the Nations health, (putting money first), then he's no saint in this.

If he would have acted earlier case numbers could have been lessened.

What has andy Burnham got to do with a national lockdown?

Thev were advised to do a national lockdown 2 weeks abo and boris chose to ignore it.

Lancashire were offered more money than Manchester and they are also under conservative control.

Correct, one day Boris might realise that viruses don’t compromise... as painful as it is you just have to identify what it will take and commit fully to it. "

So how much does every lost life cost in financial terms while more time and effort was put into getting a few more million off the government rather than doing the right thing straight off?

Two weeks of news reports with him haggling over how much they should get.

Burnham and his champions have done the country and probably Labour a great favour. If there was ever going to be a North South divide for future investment, he cemented it. Who would ever invest in people that are thick as fuck.

He put a begging before his constituents health. Numbers are through the roof because people were ignoring guidance weeks ago of 600/100k now 700/100k in Oldham. An increasing rate in September of 12000 cases per day was not seen as a problem.

The foresight was shameful given anything this year has taught.

Disagree

The bloke had valid reason for digging in, the financial support for Manchester’s businesses was not enough in comparison to other areas of the country. Red or Blue, the bloke was doing his job, fighting for his city. A city that he will still represent after this shit-storm has ended, which will be left with more unemployment, poverty and crime than it already has.

Take a trip to Manchester, have a walk around the not so nicer areas and you’ll see it first hand.

Burnham is not running the country, he has no authority at government level. All he did was stand up for his city and make the Government engage in meaningful discussions rather than bending over.

Believe it or not, there is a lot more to this than Covid statistics for the people in power and those who represent us. Covid will be under control in the future, but the devastation it leaves will take years to recover from.

Don't necessarily disagree with that. And he may be an excellent mayor.. I don't know enough. But I think he chose the wrong battle ground and people will have been infected, some hospitalised and some died as a consequence of the delays. He shares the consequences of that.

Moving Manchester to Tier 3 a few days earlier wouldn’t have made much difference, the virus was already running riot. It still is, and will continue to whilst ever schools, colleges and universities are open.

It’s not a coincidence that Covid rates shot up shortly after education settings opened again.

Even Prof Neil Ferguson, the pinnacle of Covid knowledge has said whilst ever education settings are open we may not get the virus under control like we did in the spring.

Burnhams few days of negotiating the move from Tier 2 to Tier 3 will have had little impact.

A lot, lot longer than that - honestly. It goes back all the way to Norman times and the "harrying of the North". Won't bore you with detail but the north was almost burnt to the ground and cannibalism was rife - yes seriously. Set the north so far back, that most of it was a wilderness for a very long time afterwards.

It has a power house, life here is vibrant, housing is exploding with growth, money and investment is pouring into Manchester and to be honest, Manchester would make a great and better capital of the UK..

Are you talking about the same Manchester as I see? It would make a great capital? You can't even can get any public transport after around midnight - £45 for a taxi to Oldham! It's like a village compared to London. City of Manchester itself is not actually that big at all - in and out in 10 mins. There are many big towns around it - Wigan, Bolton, Oldham, Stockport etc. which are great towns in their own right and don't consider themselves part of Manchester at all - hence thinking Burnham is a twat - because he lumps us all together as mancs - we definitelty are not.

He's a Mayor, with devolved powers over health, finance, transport, education, housing, Police, construction and so on - he budgetary oversights to all. The rollout will no doubt be centralised due to scarcity but there is nothing being said or promoted. To say he put on such a stage show 2 months ago, he's now happy to leave it to Westminster? The authorities he should be making arrangements with re. planning are a non event.

Burnham should be held to task for his actions in delaying the lockdown while he tried to get more money..

His actions have potentially and unnecessarily cost people's lives.

Conversely, the people of greater Manchester should have realised that tier 3 restrictions were necessary and acted with more care than they did leading up to the tier change.

The same can be said across most of the country, it seems that people's desire to try and get back to their old way of live has vastly outweighed their concerns about catching the virus.

We have seen massive rises in certain areas, one of which I live in. It's no surprise really when you see the number of people not wearing masks, not using the sanitiser in shops and generally not giving a rats arse about social distancing and observing others personal space.

"

They did not actively do so with the sole aim of financial gain.

Nor has their vote delayed the lockdown plans.

Burnham delayed the tier change for one purpose only, to negotiate more money.

His actions were deliberate and unnecessary.

He could have just as easily implemented the tier change and discussed funding after but instead he held the government to ransom with the health and lives of the people of Manchester.

Listening to him on the news at the time, he sounded no different to the RMT union leader trying to get an even bigger payrise for the union members by threatening strikes.

It was disgusting and obscene that in a time when the whole country should be pulling together to fight the virus, he was arguing over a few million quid so he can later turn to his constituents and say "look what I fought to get you while everyone else was rolling over and playing the Conservative government game"

"Burnham should be held to task for his actions in delaying the lockdown while he tried to get more money..

His actions have potentially and unnecessarily cost people's lives.

Conversely, the people of greater Manchester should have realised that tier 3 restrictions were necessary and acted with more care than they did leading up to the tier change.

The same can be said across most of the country, it seems that people's desire to try and get back to their old way of live has vastly outweighed their concerns about catching the virus.

We have seen massive rises in certain areas, one of which I live in. It's no surprise really when you see the number of people not wearing masks, not using the sanitiser in shops and generally not giving a rats arse about social distancing and observing others personal space.

Are you going to hold to task all the tories mps who have rebelled against boris's lockdown plans?

They did not actively do so with the sole aim of financial gain.

Nor has their vote delayed the lockdown plans.

Burnham delayed the tier change for one purpose only, to negotiate more money.

So he wanted the same money that other parts of the country were getting ?Money that would keep afloat business that would go of business and save jobs?

What a disgrace?

When you say all pulling together presumably you mean the e mail that the gmnt sent round looking for investors who could make financial gains during the crises?

Or perhaps you mean the millions of pounds which gome gone to companies with links to senior gmnt ministers?

Or perhaps you mean the number of millionaires you have seen their fortunes rocket during the crises including our loveable Jacob reece mogg?

That sort of pulling together?

Still I agree..let's Lambast people who are fighting tooth or nail to get a minuscule pay rise to survive on.

Erm... guess what.. under a left wing Mayor you'll always find plenty of police officers at Gay Pride and the like - but try and get one who can or will investigate crime when you need one. Laughable. Burnham is a joke.

Ha ha

So let's get this right.

The mayor is responsible for handling the national pandemic aswell as how the police handle crime?

Anything else?

A bird shat on my car today..

Fucking left wing mayors!

And he is actually making strides to improve relationship between the police and the LGBTQ community

Surely he should be sacked on the spot?

Erm - the Mayor is responsible for policing in Greater ,Manchester. Didn't you realise that? Did you also not realise Stockport is in Greater Manchester - so, by default, does have a Mayor???

People had the information about stopping the spread, they chose not heed this information and continued acting normally. We can blame the leaders all we want but ultimately the reason we're in this is because people ignored what they should have been doing. Manchester area created it's own shite as has anywhere else.

What has he achieved? You drive down a road and you're fined due to new layouts and poor signage. Just a couple of years ago you could walk through Picadilly and see spice addicts wobbly, emptying their guts whilst people eat lunch or go about their daily business. People were 'bumped' by so many professionally beggars it was a daily routine.

Businesses are closing due to hiked rates, roads and pavements in disrepair. He's spent £7millions on buying/building a new green space when the coffers are bone dry and boroughs have been under massive financial pressure with austerity. Even the mass housing/office projects came under fire as they are mostly foreign owned pricing locals out of the housing market.

I'd like to know what you'd think he's done as his oversight is shuttered.

Begging is a national issue linked to structural inequality,poverty and mental health.

Burnham is also not responsible for austerity which obviously hits northern cities,especially labour ones,much harder than tory shires.

Sounds a good reason to hike business rates, import foreign investment and price locals out of housing; not tackle open use of drug taking, not fix roads, pavements and instead charge road users whilst not signposting changes.

Issues of structural inequality are linked to many things not least education and investment - Burnham would rather have his cap out whilst not taking advantage of available funding. The Tory-Labour divide in funding cities may have been helped if he'd have done his job promoting the city, monitoring spending of councils or as mentioned; ensuring budgets were controlled, so if needed they could by shored up as now there are reports of councils at bankruptcy through poor investment choices.

I seem to remember beggars removed from Windsor around the Royal wedding - I take it these were exceptions to the Northern Labourshire rule?

Are you really serious he stood up for folk in manchester who voted him in power.

Boris and his cronies are out of depth in puddle.

Cast mind back to beginning of pandemic who was in charge of nation when we sold the ppe we had to china.

Who was in charge and allowed folk in hospital with covid to be foisted onto care homes with no further checks to see if they were safe to send to care homes resulting in over 20 thousand deaths as well as no pppe.

Who failed to sack cummings when he had to check his eyesight by a 30 mile drive with kids and wife in with him.

Who as result let the deluded anti covid idiots became empowered as rule maker broke rules.

All the mixed messages and lots more.

For the lives lost re care homes and knowing the risks and remember on ve day when lot in care homes had contributed to winning the war and rightly got plaudits yet same time left to in effect die culminating in form of genocide and he has blood on his hands.

So please spare me the twaddle re Burnham he stood up for folk he represents Boris let thousands die.
