KING of the North Andy Burnham has started a legal challenge to Boris Johnson’s Tier 3 assault on the Greater Manchester region.
Burnham’s advisor for the Night-Time Economy Sasha Lord revealed that the Greater Manchester local authority had launched a Judicial Review into the legality of implementing the Tier 3 restrictions on Greater Manchester.
LATEST: Last night we started the Judicial Review into the legality of implementing emergency restrictions on Greater Manchesters hospitality sector, without scientific evidence.
A pre-action letter has been filed and we await the Health Secretary's response.
The fight goes on.
