@UKLabour Who is going to police it?

Rayner, who is refusing an investigation into Burnham’s Manchester-Abu Dhabi loans, was also part of the ‘Etihad Coup’, which speedily ousted Starmer. She’s got the PM to thank for getting her cabinet job back, after dodging tax. Manchesterism is beginning to stink…

@JohnSwinney Belfast??????

@SKinnock Irony!

@UKLabour Yeah and the band played believe it if you can!

🚨 EXPOSED: ANDY BURNHAM HANDED 55 MILLION POUNDS OF TAXPAYER CASH TO MAN CITY OWNERS! Remember when Burnham panicked on national television last month to fiercely defend Manchester City against Premier League financial cheating charges? Now I have the official paper trail explaining exactly why he acts like a dedicated public relations agent for the United Arab Emirates! Official records prove that during his time as mayor, Burnham personally chaired the meetings that handed 55 million pounds in taxpayer loans to Jersey based property companies ultimately controlled by Man City owner Sheikh Mansour. This cash was drained straight out of a 300 million pound state housing fund supposedly reserved for struggling local developers. Instead of helping British builders construct homes, Burnham rubber stamped a massive taxpayer loan for the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates! Sheikh Mansour is one of the richest men on the planet and could secure private corporate finance in thirty seconds. Yet Burnham gave a foreign billionaire preferential access to a public cash machine funded entirely by your hard earned wages!!!!! Labour politicians are bleeding the domestic working class dry with brutal taxes while secretly operating a VIP fast lane for Middle Eastern royalty. Retweet this investigation immediately to expose Andy Burnham and demand a full parliamentary inquiry into this Man City money scandal. 🇬🇧🔥

The cracks are starting to appear just look at the last 48 hours The comments on Manchester City are inappropriate, RAF Fairford Flipping on an EU referendum There will be more about turns because he lacks the skills & qualities of leadership What have you done @UKLabour ❓

'That is the flaw in everything he says. What he hates, actually works!' @afneil explains why Andy Burnham's policies will not work in todays "declining" Britain. Listen & watch the full interview: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

Cut foreign aid and welfare for foreign nationals before cutting support for British pensioners. It is that simple.

Gilts at 4.5%: “TRUSS MUST GO!” Gilts at 6.16%: “World events.” I’m sick & tired of the partisan hypocrisy and the selective cherry picking of the media and political establishment.

Gulf Money, Manchester City And A Prime Minister With Questions To Answer Consider the order of events. In February, Lord Stockwood, then a minister, flew to the UAE. He met Sheikh Hamad bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who runs the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and Khaldoon Al Mubarak, chief executive of Mubadala and chairman of Manchester City. Minutes obtained by the Telegraph under freedom of information law record the minister promoting the Oxford-Cambridge corridor. Mr Al Mubarak told him the Emiratis were very proud of their investments in Manchester. A letter followed, inviting Mubadala to visit the project. It also invited Mr Al Mubarak to Grimsby. The government wants £10bn of private money for the corridor. It has pledged £500m of its own. Abu Dhabi is seen as the key investor. On 14 September, Mr Al Mubarak walked into Downing Street to meet the Business Secretary, Jonathan Reynolds. The Telegraph reports that he already knew City had been found guilty. The Department for Business and Trade says the two men discussed trade, defence and security, and not the club. The independent commission then reported. It upheld all but one of 115 charges and found that City had inflated its results by more than £900m between 2009 and 2018. City denies wrongdoing and will appeal. Every finding here is the commission's, and the club is entitled to contest it. Then the Prime Minister spoke. Asked about the verdict, Andy Burnham told the BBC he would be "really concerned" to lose City's owners. He called them "such a huge partner in the building of modern Manchester". He added that he could not "intervene more", a phrase that implies some earlier intervention. His office denies there was one. Downing Street rewrote its own statement within hours, changing "if wrongdoing is established" to "wherever wrongdoing is established". On Friday night came the sentence that matters. Downing Street said it did not dispute reports that the verdict had undermined the UAE's appetite for future grand-scale UK commitments. Emirati officials, according to Bloomberg, say the Premier League's actions will influence the bilateral relationship. So a foreign state is applying pressure to a British government over the ruling of a British sporting body. The Prime Minister's office has all but confirmed it. Mr Burnham's record sharpens the point. In January 2024, as mayor of Greater Manchester, he argued that the Premier League's conduct towards Everton strengthened the case for an independent football regulator. He got his regulator. Its first great test arrived within months, and the man who demanded its independence is the one who has been heard to fret about the defendant's owners. David Bernstein, a former chairman of both City and the Football Association, told him to stay away. So did the Conservative shadow sports minister, Louie French, and the Liberal Democrat spokeswoman Anna Sabine. Fairness requires some caveats. No evidence of a bargain has been published. Mr Burnham will say his Everton experience taught him to distrust the Premier League's process, and he has since stepped back. Conservative governments also courted Gulf capital, and they were right to want investment. The question is narrower. A Prime Minister who built his career in Manchester, on Abu Dhabi money, now depends on Abu Dhabi money to fund his flagship growth project. Whatever his motives, that dependence hands a foreign government leverage over a regulator's decision. The Football Regulator has powers to judge owners fit or unfit. It must use them without regard to the balance of trade. Mr Burnham should say so plainly, in public, and then stay silent. Britain can find its investors elsewhere. It cannot find another independent regulator. "Andy Burnham told the BBC he would be "really concerned" to lose City's owners. He called them "such a huge partner in the building of modern Manchester"."

@UKLabour Awaiting the u-turn!

Liz Truss was forced to resign when gilt yields reached 4.42%. Under Andy Burnham they are now standing at 6.00% Shouldn’t Andy Burnham resign or be calling a General election ?

@AshfordLabour Deluded!

This would be a good policy. As it is fine for pensioners to survive on £12,500 a year, let's cap all benefits at the same amount. In addition, let's cap the wage of all politicians at the same amount, including local government and civil servants.

@UKLabour It’s a con!

@chefsevenn Yeah of course.

@KenSkatesMS You would say that.

@StevenTommo @GMB Care homes won’t be free that’s not what he is proposing.
