The mayor of Greater Manchester tells London Centric readers how he's getting the powers Sadiq Khan wants, why he fears for the capital's young people, and where to get the best chips in London.
I suggest you stick to London as your Manchester piece was not as well thought out as your London pieces
Manchester’s success has little or nothing to do with their Mayor . Howard Bernstein as Chief Exec from 1998 to 2017 worked with Richard Leece Leader of the Council from 1996 to 2021 to deliver the major changes and make Manchester No 2 city putting Birmingham into third place. The Bernstein / Leece partnership would do business with whichever party was in power .
As to London and it’s Mayor unfortunately he is not well served by his deputy Mayors compared with either Ken Livingstone or Boris Johnson. Boris was very fortunate to have Simon Milton as his No2
Perhaps an article comparing the London Mayors would be interesting
