The kitty for Northern transport is looking like a Chartwells food box. https://t.co/QxsuJxotYI

We’re in the process of developing a Homelessness Prevention Strategy for Greater Manchester. I can today confirm that this proposal won’t be part of it. https://t.co/6SI8u2cckW

To be fair, some are still doing good work on this. This thread from @katierazz confirms our experience in Greater Manchester: the Self-Isolation Support Payment simply isn’t reaching enough people. This needs to be fixed ASAP alongside the wider Test & Trace system. 👇 https://t.co/dEF2IGNxVP

It feels like Government/media have given up on Test, Trace & Isolate. All hopes are pinned on vaccination. This is dangerous. Even if vaccination goes well, we’ll need functioning Test & Trace to manage our exit route from restrictions. Time to get eyes back on this ball. https://t.co/iCVfq9aXIr

This is the story of this pandemic. Some people have done very well out of it. Others have been left with nothing. https://t.co/WRtHtGm3sn

Imagine how hard this month would be if you’d had no income or support since March. And the sense of injustice you’d feel as a taxpayer. Basic fairness demands a solution for those excluded. Please ask your MP to support @TracyBrabin’s Bill tomorrow. https://t.co/862Qh9p9D1

We have worked hard in Greater Manchester to turn the tide on homelessness and rough sleeping. We still have got a lot further to go. But we are making real progress. Thank you to @GMHPartnership and all of our partners. 🙏 https://t.co/B81p6NEcSh

Sorry @TherealNihal, we’re all @MarineAFC tonight.

Music is one of Manchester’s, and Britain’s, best exports. A visa-free deal for musicians would have been massively more beneficial to the UK than the EU. This needs to be looked at again. Please consider adding your name to the petition 👇 https://t.co/snQiZ2bfqE https://t.co/VKZaXmAmJg

Tonight we’re supporting 520+ people in our ground-breaking #BedEveryNight #ABEN scheme. This is a GM initiative supported by our own funds & your donations to @GMMayorsCharity. 🙏 We will always subscribe to an “Everyone In” philosophy, come what may. https://t.co/ehqx8kz4Hc

Any UK politician who gave Trump the time of day should be ashamed right now.

Finally, some of the 3 million can be brought in from the cold. People newly self-employed at the start of the pandemic are filing their 1st tax returns. This means the Government’s reason for excluding them falls away. Over to you, @RishiSunak. Please do the right thing. 👇🏻 https://t.co/1lV821eNmL

So sad to hear about the loss of a footballing giant and a true City great. Condolences to Colin’s family and everyone associated with @ManCity. https://t.co/iPcf6h27fK

One day after telling the country to Stay At Home, the Government is ordering BTEC students into college to sit exams. How can that be fair? @MetroMayorSteve and I are calling on them to reconsider. https://t.co/fznkPaJuwo

Good as far as it goes but no mention of people excluded from public support. Does the Government really have no intention of bringing 3 million taxpayers in from the cold? If not, Parliament should call a vote on this tomorrow. https://t.co/Qe2QGXIJrq

The Government has slashed funding to the body that oversees transport in the north - throwing into jeopardy a plan for London-style smart ticketing and hitting other projects 'across the board' https://t.co/hUsurD4MY1

Yesterday I proposed a 10 minute rule bill aimed at supporting those who's been left out of meaningful financial support during the Covid pandemic. Today is another day with no solutions for 3m #Excluded. @rishisunak @jesse_norman people are desperate when is help coming? https://t.co/5R8HOVV5q5

Off the streets: how Manchester found homes for hundreds of rough sleepers https://t.co/kGmkdIKURd

North-south divide is clear as day in these Covid death figures. More than *12,000 people* have died in the north-west (nearly one in five of England's total) at a rate 2.5x higher than the south-west and nearly double the south-east. Astonishing. https://t.co/YMRYke7bIO https://t.co/SED2TqQwkt
