Bev Craig: “I think he will fight really hard to remain authentic. I think in politics we don’t see much of that.”

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.

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 never believed as a girl growing up on a council estate that one day I would have the chance to stand for the place that I love.

We will work together, we will do it together, we will deliver it together and we will build a Greater Manchester that works for all of us, that we are all part of, where everyone feels welcome and everyone has the chance to succeed.
