Ok. Here is a megathread listing everything that happened at yesterday's Andy Burnham press conference. I think we got most of it - but there was a lot. So. Here goes.
Here's my rundown of all the major developments in the new draft spatial framework: manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…
Here's Andy Burnham on why there are still green belt sites in the plan: manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…
Here's all the new transport links planned for the next five years to go alongside that strategy (with the caveat that they don't currently have the £ to do most of it) via @ccoxmenmedia

Here's the free bus pass coming in from September for 16-18-year-olds, via @NickStathamLDR

Here's the air quality charges they're considering bringing in across GM (looks like the timeframe for this has slipped further since I last wrote about it though), via @JIllingworthLDR

Our team of local democracy reporters also did area-specific breakdowns of the spatial framework for many of the GM boroughs. So this is the Salford one, via @MariEccles

Today we will all mainly be trying to resist lying down in a darkened room. Huge thanks to our local democracy reporters for all this - hopefully we've covered all the salient points from yesterday. Will send out a newsletter on it this morning, in case you've not had enough

A brief thread about trains. Nobody in power in London seems to care about this but it still sucks so, hi. 1/
Apparently Transport for the North are still *very unhappy indeed* about the train situation here but, it transpires, can basically do absolutely nothing about it
Probably the most interesting and telling thing Ive learned in recent days is that *no minister* went to the latest TfN meeting, despite this allegedly being a partnership between the north and the government. No minister.

(1) Forget the headlines from the lying, leaking, liberal MSM. Read the official statement here:

whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat…
(2) The MSM critiques of the President's statement focus on peripheral aspects like his use of exclamation marks. Reflect on that, against the incredibly serious points made about Iran, international terrorism, global oil prices etc.

Which side is talking about what MATTERS?
(3) Every point POTUS made was already known to me, & to you, if you've been following actual events & trends, instead of the MSM spin.

YES the murder of Mr Khashoggi was AWFUL & it is NOT condoned by Trump, the US, or me, or you.

A President must consider the whole picture.

Its open secret that Mugabe was removed from power through a coup. What many didn't know back then was that although Mnangagwa & Chiwenga were very close, the duo's marriage would quickly fade within a space of 6 months. They pretend to be close, but its very clear not anymo
2/
 Soon after Chiwenga's appointment as Vice President (VP), Kembo Mohadi who had previously been appointed Minister of Defence, State Security and War Vets, lost that ministry to Chiwenga. But according to our constitution a VP must hold that post only, not to double as Minister
3/
 Mnangagwa was Vice President as well as Justice Minister, that was illegal. Now Chiwenga is Vice President as well as Defence Minister. That's still unconstitutional. Part 2, Section 103 of our constitution says a VP cant hold ANY OTHER public office, directly or indirectly.

Two points. Source 1s connections to Canadidtae 2 most likely discussed here in this foot note. “Notwithstanding Source 1’s reason for conducting the research...”
Anyone else notice that the sign off list matches up to who was in the Secret Squirrel Group meeting at the WH from July on? This wasn’t an FBI initiated project. Brennan started it in July. This FISA is for that.

From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation. A Grand Jury had been impaneled.
Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”. Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared. Hmmm, now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out.

(1) Here we go again. Despite being a new bridge, this Miami walkway collapsed, tragically causing multiple fatalities.

I speak from industry experience when I say: Someone failed to do their job properly.

(2) I will provide links and updates in this thread over the coming days. The regulation and enforcement of safety standards relies, ultimately, on political will.

Thoughts and prayers with those affected.
