I thank
@BorisJohnson
once again for talking with me about
@AndyBurnhamGM
and the Labour councillors throughout Greater Manchester, unworkable and unnecessary Congestion Tax plans.
There's been a total lack of Scrutiny and it is a total waste of money.

Fantastic to speak with
@pritipatel
this evening about my plans for more bobbies on the beat across Greater Manchester, get our police out of special measures, cut crime, and deliver safe streets.
Want to say "Thank you"
@RuthDavidsonMSP
for your time today. The turnout was fantastic, no one could have been a better speaker and advocate. Keep well my friend.
#YesSheCan
Can't be bothered to get the right date. Can't be bothered to get the right imprint. Basically, can't be bothered. Labour is taking you for granted.
I won't.x
Thank You! To all those who voted for me, joined our campaign, and got our message out there - you made this all worth it.
We may not have won the fight this time, but we’ve shown that Greater Manchester wants change.
Well done
@AndyBurnhamGM
for bringing Greater Manchester's buses into public control.
Now it's time for other regions to follow his lead - it's time for a publicly owned public transport network that puts passengers before private profit.
Many thanks to the Home Secretary
@pritipatel
for speaking with me this evening.Talking law & order, our ongoing recruitment in police officers, safe streets, cutting crime for the whole of Greater Manchester.
We are the party of law and order.
Working with the government.
Castleton is facing dire consequences from
@AndyBurnhamGM
cycle lanes.
No one wanted it. No one wants it.
No one uses it.
Vote for someone who is on your side.
Let’s have a fact check on the economic falsehoods Labour is deploying.
2010 vs 2024.
2010 - Deficit 7%
2024 - Deficit 1.9%
2010 - Deep recession
2024 - Fastest growth in G7 predicted
2010 - Unemployment 7%
2024 - Unemployment 4%
2010 - 10.3% Public Sector Net Borrowing
Talking law and order with the Secretary of State for the Home Department, James Cleverly.
There's much to do and if elected law and order will be my top priority, no deputy on my watch 👊
The Conservative candidate for Mayor of GM, Laura Evans, has called on the Home Secretary to force Mr Burnham to publish the report. She says the public have a right to know what’s in it before the election on May 6th. 3/3
👮Most people don’t know the Mayor is in charge of policing in Greater Manchester.
📢 So it’s important everyone knows the buck stops with him on our police.
💬 Share this so people know. We deserve a Mayor with a better plan
Not a word about the The Mayor's leadership failures leading to 84,000 unrecorded crimes in one year. 1 in 4 serious. GMP in special measures and officers tell me they are totally fed up. But Andrew the MP cares about my Diary.
#getagrip
Hmmmm.... interesting that the Tory candidate for GM Mayor has only attended 2 of the 6 election hustings so far - dodging hundreds of local people and businesses.
Instead, she seems to prefer talking to other Tories from across the country! Wonder why?🤔
Corbyn sent their Big Gun Labour shadow Ed sec Ange, they Summond activists from all over to "turn Trafford" ,63 activist turned up and it was raining, so they stayed in. Our weekly canvass lots of local residents .Rain doesn't stop us, never has & neither will Corbyns momentum.
Really worth a listen. Tonight in Parliament
@JamesDalyMP
for Bury North makes it clear we need to stop Andy Burnham's ludicrous 493 sq mile Congestion Tax.
And a Labour MP for Stockport who trys to shift the blame
#rethinkGM
Is this a joke ❓
Andy Burnham is in charge of Policing in GM.
84,000 unrecorded crimes in 1 year. (1 in 4 serious)
Police placed in Special Measures. 4 HMI reports in as many years telling the GM Mayor of his failures yet Labour issue this codswallop.
#BuckstopswithBurnham
Under the Conservatives criminals have never had it so good.
Here’s Labour's plan to keep people safe in their communities and bring down violent crime.
#VoteLabour
Honestly the stuff I'm hearing about the CAZ. Congestion Tax.
Labour across the whole of GM voted for the camera's, signs ,size and to charge. As did the Greens and Lib Dems.
So that's simple isn't it.
Conservatives didn't.
Vote Labour and you get a CAZ
#rethinkGM
Today I asked Andy Burnham the Labour Mayor of Greater Manchester how many Chief Constables we are paying for? He couldn't give me an answer. All smoke and mirrors
Really disappointed in the BBC reporting. Labour imposed this Tax Andy Burnham and his Labour Councillors. He chose to charge and the size. We want it stopped. If you're going to report news at least get the facts right.
#rethinkGM
Been out today talking about the Mayor's : Rochdale, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Wigan, Tameside, Stockport, Salford, Manchester, Trafford, every road, street, avenue, city, town, village Congestion Tax. 493 sq miles, the whole of Greater Manchester.
G M Mayor's planned "Congestion Tax". "Largest in the World"?
£3000 pounds a year for every road, street, crescent, cul-de-sac in Greater Manchester, 493 sq miles❗
How can anyone afford this?
"Scope and nature"
Last night
@AndyBurnhamGM
admits
#CAZ
down to him and his Labour GM councillors, the size 493sq miles and to charge.
Don't let this go on, push for a full fair independent consultation.
Scrutiny about what contracts have been signed.
#scrutiny
#RethinkGM
Oh
@AndyBurnhamGM
that's a dreadful thing to do. Stop blaming everyone the buck stops with you❗
#youhadonejob
GMP 'deliberately' withheld information from mayor's office, claims Burnham
We are nearly at our journey's end. A few steps more and I will be able to thank you personally.
Thank you for a job well done. A Monarch that carried so much for so many - the world paused for you.
@Sacha_Lord
@AndyBurnhamGM
Thank you so much Sacha for your attempt at putting out an "Andy's damage limitation" tweet.
Carefully leaving out it was
@AndyBurnhamGM
plan and it's been thrown back at him by government.
Hs's been told to take his 493sq mile Tax and.........

2021 will go down as the best year of my life the birth of a grandson. I have an amazing family and I am blessed with great friends.
Wishing you all a healthy, happy, fun 2022. Look for the positives and Keep the faith.
What does Andy know he's done nothing, we have 80,000 unrecorded crimes, failed computer systems, police officers left at risk. GMP in special measures. The Mayor is the problem🤔

joined our

the North.
He said Transport for the North has succeeded in making people look at the bigger picture for the region, including how to integrate major projects like

and

Had a coffee with a resident.☕️
He wanted to know why people bothered voting at local elections?
‼️The council has control over stuff like‼️
School places
Greenbelt
Potholes & Pavements etc
Street lights
Bin collections & recycling.
Parking fees
To name a few.
He's voting ✅️
The Conservative MP for Leigh says Greater Manchester's Clean Air Zone wasn't originally compulsory for all ten boroughs. The Labour Leader of Manchester City Council also put across her argument on Politics NW. Watch here➡️
I cannot lie, I'm devasted by the loss of my friend who in my Mayoral campaign gave me so much support.
The people of Bolton were truly lucky to have this fine man as the leader of their Council - His loss is a loss to all.
We have just learned the very sad news that our dear friend and Bolton Council Leader, Cllr David Greenhalgh, has sadly passed away.
He was greatly respected and had many friends both in the town hall and the wider Bolton community.
I believe there are questions the Mayor must answer regarding the illegal raves that took place over the weekend.
We need proper leadership from local decision makers. That's why I've written to the Labour Mayor, setting out five questions.
Read my letter in full below 👇
Great debate about Clean Air Zone only issue is you're not highlighting the bit that matters, Birmingham's charging zone is 5 sq miles but
@AndyBurnhamGM
set the size for Greater Mancheater of 493 sq miles
@MichelleDignan
largest in the world!
@CGreenUK
Another blatant misleading comment
@AndyBurnhamGM
you chose to charge not the government and you set the size 493 sq miles.
What kind of Mayor does this to his borough's
You're clutching at straws.
#RethinkGM
Hello
@AndyBurnhamGM
did you say to the government. That you and your Labour councillors have made a terrible miscalculation, that YOU tried to hoodwink the hardworking people of GM by inflicting a "greedy" 493 sq mile Tax on them? And it's gone down like a cold bucket of sick?
Morning all quick run, it's cold when you start. Woman on a mission! So many calls yesterday about the Police and Crime Commissioner,
@AndyBurnhamGM
total failure to show leadership.Time for change.
Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham fails residents and Police of Greater Manchester (iOPS).
HM Inspectorate of Constabulary
Greater Manchester Police 'failed to record 80,000 crimes in a year'
