And before Andy Burnham became mayor, they were running Manchester City Council and they set out to effectively rebuild Manchester City Centre.
And they did it really hand in hand with the private sector.

It's bringing business in, persuading business to invest in Manchester.
now you know andy burnham has to do that for the whole of britain um and the you know what you what would turn off business completely is if he shows himself to be anti-business and start taxing businesses that make a profit start threatening wealth taxes start doing this start doing that and that would turn off business and he has to recognize
that we live in a very competitive world.
I mean, Dublin would like London's business.
Paris would like London's business.
We would like Dublin's business.
We would like Paris's business.

Well, you know, let's be honest.
Even if I was on benefit, £45 over a year is not even a pound a week.
You know, £2 the bus fare, well, that's not bad.
