TottsKEY POINTS FROM BURNHAM SPEECH
#Burnham begins his speech, saying he is "missing you" (Manchester)
He has deliberately chosen the People's History Museum
He says, "Westminster is broken."
"We need to change politics, and we need to do it now"
Devolving parliament to The North and other regions is a shrewd move and may bring back the Red Wall?
"We are one of the worst over centralised countries in the world"
The natural argument and extension of this is whether he will offer #IndyRef2?
"Growth from the bottom up" This is anarcho-syndicalism 😃
'Manchesterism' a new phrase is coined
"A rejection of the trickle down model"
He intends to move the Prime Minister's office to Manchester. Wow !
"No 10 North will be the nerve centre of a re-wired Britain"
"The days of Whitehall fighting devolution are over"
"We will ensure all parts of the UK are able to take greater public control of essential services like water, housing, energy, and transport"
"Our procurement policies have been based on chasing cut price deals around the world rather than helping our British based suppliers become more stable and reliable. No more."
"The days of a school system configured around a route to university will be brought to an end"
"Biggest council house building program since post-war period"
"Housing first policy that has been pioneered so successfully on Finland"
Ours is a ten year mission
"I will give Britain some breathing space as soon as I can"
He references the Peterloo Massacre and the cartoon of it by repeating "with them in mind"
"Imagine good growth in every postcode and hope in every heart"
"Let's make it happen"
