Andy and I have worked together to lift up all of Greater Manchester. As Mayor, I’ll build on that legacy to bring our ten boroughs together and make sure every community shares in our success.

Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too. It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer. I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.

The new right to a guaranteed hours contract in the Employment Rights Act could be transformational, finally ending exploitative short and zero-hour contracts. But we must make sure we get the detail right and ensure all workers benefit.
