This Tube ‘update board’ nails what people think about Manchester and Boris Johnson right now
Everyone’s talking about Manchester mayor Andy Burnham today after the city was forced into Tier 3 with only a £22m support package – far short of the £90m Burnham asked for and a fraction of the government’s original offer.
You can read exactly what people made of that here, but this London Underground ‘service information board’ sums up many people’s feelings today.
The text in the top left suggests it might not be the genuine article but the sentiment is very real and it was going wildly viral on Twitter today.
And just in case you missed it, here’s Burnham in action, in a clip that was being widely shared today (the question is actually from journalist Nicholas Watt, as @BeardedGenius said later).
Great answer.
The question – I think from Nick Robinson – suggested haggling over £5m was ‘showboating’ over a ‘relatively small amount of money’.
