Simply the best politician in the UK in recent time - genuine, practical and intelligent.
Tbh. I'm glad. He has done his best to help Manchester. He's better than most we've had

Go on Andy! as a regular patron of Manchester's public transport system it's the envy of the north. Metrolink and publicly owned busses! the most profitable network in England and the money goes straight back into public services rather than lining executive and shareholder pockets. All of this whilst keeping fares low and services frequent.
'Buy him a pint'? Surely he should be buying _them_ a pint...

When are they going to build affordable homes for the younger generation? Apartments in the city that aren’t actually owned by wealthy Chinese businessmen or Russian oligarchs? Instead our youth have no chance in hell of ever owning property and slaves to rent.
Every politician of any hue, as soon as they reach the top are pulled in all directions by `powerful` groups until `rabbit in the headlights` becomes true. Unions, Civil Service, your own Party made up of various hues, et, etc.
