Saying Greater Manchester would not accept any more restrictions without consultation.
You know, that was kind of the making of him, you know, in a public sense.
You know, people really became aware of who he was outside of Greater Manchester at that point, I think.
You know, there were beers named after him, King of the North IPA.

And I think he's done that part of the job very well.
One of the big things of his term as Greater Manchester Mayor has been bringing different political parties together to get things done.
The biggest example of this is working with the Conservative government in order to bring more devolved powers for the regions.

And Andy Burnham, I think, has tried to put aside these political differences to, you know, deliver benefits for his area.
His big criticism, I have to say, of his time as mayor is the introduction of the clean air zone, which is where high polluting cars would be charged up to 60 quid a day, the owners of them, which was, you know, his huge scheme.
