The chief of GM Police goes but the person responsible for Budgetary management and Governance stays. Burnham throws the chief copper under the bus and walks away unscathed.

Are we going to get a lot of this whilst you’re stuck at home with nowhere to go

Anything but angry just glad that the Govt are willing to make tough decisions even at a sensitive time. No moaning about N/S divide, no complaints, local leaders not grandstanding asking for more money than Liverpool whilst the infection rate increases in the area, just recognising that we have a dangerous virus and we must get on with it.

MPs calling for Burnhams head. One offering him advice to tour Police stations rather than TV studios. Sounds about right.

Absolute nonsense.
Desperate to keep London "open" and now, everyone pays the price.

Back on topic, if failure to manage any government department is cause to lose your job, we'd be a PM and most of the Cabinet short.

PM
Chancellor
Home Secretary
Brexit Minister

All the above have failed badly.

Cough Matt Hancock. Gavin Wiiiliamson, Dido Harding Cough

Neither of you wanting to comment on Burnhams grandstanding and major failure to protect Manchester from crime or Covid.

Yes, Hopkins has gone and rightly so.
Should Burnham have resigned over this ? it's too early to tell but, probably not.

In the grand scheme of things Burnham, despite his many failings, is still out performing the PM, relatively speaking.
So, should Bojo resign. After all, his policies on covid have killed 10's of 1000's .

The list of his failings during his first 12 months at the helm outstrip ANY of his predecessors.
Covid has pushed Brexit off the front page but, the damage already being done to business, due to his usual "over selling" is an absolute scandal.
The situation at Britain's major ports is pure mayhem and this is before we end the negotiations, either with or without a deal.
His penchant for telling lies, is finally bringing the chickens hoe to roost.
Mismanagement of the nation on a huge scale but, he gets to stay ??

Bojo did a good job managing a 'town'. A country in a crisis is a different scale. Burnham is failing with the former.

Tbf, when a "department" fails, it's usual for the head of that department to go.
If the situation continues and the replacement doesnt perform, at this point, Burnham would come under pressure ??

As for the country, just what has Bojo got right so far.
Every time there is an increase in covid cases, he just sits and waits, allowing more people to lose their lives.
It's an absolute disgrace.
The recent issues in London could have been (largely) avoided and to allow people in a tier 4 area to leave London "en masse" is bloody reckless.
The exodus, following the tier 4 announcement, should not have been allowed to happen.

You're not daft so you can plainly see that the tory attempt at deflecting is just that.

Short of declaring martial law (and doubt that would have stopped everybody),i just don't see how people could have been prevented from leaving. Afraid this is just another example of many thousands not accepting any social responsibility and its been like that since day one. Flicking through the news,came across the below,best description I've seen of the people involved in the exodus. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/t ... e-23196463

Yay, another lefty thread... bring back Blair & Brown, just to shut morons like DG up.

You are so boring all you do is insult people . You never evidence anything you never present a reasoned argument you have nothing to say other than just throw insults
