Wondering how bus franchising is going in Manchester?

Here’s a nice summary of the state of play from the always interesting @ManchesterMill

Spoiler: it’s working pretty well.

(Although I’m still not keen on the yellow).

I won't be visiting #ManCon again, there's a choice of other #Manchester restaurant review sites doing a good job nowadays.

How did a respected brand like .@BentleyMotors (.@VWGroup) become a gang of unethical corporate-criminal thieving low-lifes?
Tried to kill off 58 year family owned Bentley Clothing, just because they felt like it.
Excellent work by @ManchesterMill

🇬🇧 Storbritanniens kommende PM? Hvis du vil nørde lidt om Manchester-borgmester Andy Burnham, der _måske_ er Storbritanniens næste premierminister (senere på året), så tjek denne analyse/profil fra #JoshiHermann hos #ManchesterMill. #ukdk #ukpol #eudk manchestermill.co.uk/stop-looking...
Stop looking for Burnhamism - in six years, I’ve never found it
Watching the mayor up close in Manchester, I’ve seen his unusual gifts and glaring weaknesses. Would he make a good prime minister?

Been looking forward to reading this all week, and it was as rewarding as I hoped. Great stuff by David Barnett for ManchesterMill.

Terrific @ManchesterMill piece by @joshi Herrmann, which kicks off with reflections from experienced and knowledgeable (ex) civil servant and economist @oldtrotter:

London knows best: How the dead hand of Whitehall strangled Britain
‘The centre has not delivered' admits Labour, while the Economist calls for the government to 'Free the North'. But does anyone have the courage to end the decades-long hoarding of power in London?

Hope some orgs like Nub News. Newsquest, or indies like like SocialSpider (@JollyJourno), @joshi / @ManchesterMill, @peckhampeculiar etc. can have the areas on their radars - and any freelancers with scope to set up local Substacks. But likely to be a drop in the ocean sadly

Flag shaggers turn out to be men of dubious backgrounds with far right tendencies.

What a surprise.
