Bev Craig: “It does seem to me like Labour has listened.”

When people ask what’s the difference between you and Andy - there’s loads of differences. But I am standing as my own person, with my own ideas, and I’ll be accountable to this region, and to no one else.

So it's absolutely fantastic that in two weeks since becoming prime minister, he's coming good on his long-standing beliefs around power and control.

I've long argued, as did Andy before he became prime minister, that Greater Manchester should have more power and more control.

For a prime minister two weeks in, to start giving powers out of Whitehall and putting it in the places that can make a difference - that can change our lives.
