MANCHESTER SAYS NO: Burnham REJECTS Boris’ £100m Offer #NoMoreLockdowns 

KING of the North Andy Burnham has rejected a £100m offer to shut down Greater Manchester claiming people’s mental health is more important. 

The Greater Manchester Metro Mayor said that “Nothing had Changed” after the Government leaked details of a £100m offer to help struggling businesses. 

Burnham said in a statement today: “It’s not about the size of the cheque, it’s about protecting low paid workers, people who are self-employed and supporting businesses and preventing them from collapsing.”
