Announcement today by Andy Burnham. A new train station. And underground plans. BBC News North West.
They aren't running a business. Running a business and running a government are two different things.
You understand the point that people who have successfully run a business in one sector wouldn't necessarily be successful or even mediocre in another sector. There's successful business men who have ended up complete failures in the same sector because they were reliant on one model and lacked the flexibility.
Do you believe Simon Jordan, Alan Sugar or Peter Swales would have made good politicians?
Is it possible that people who have experience of working in a union, local government, representing constituents and serving in the shadow cabinet have better understanding of the mechanisms of government and are better qualified to work in government than a quantity surveyor and landlord?

Do you not think his role as chairman of the Prison Reform Trust and his experience of employing ex-offenders are more relevant than the fact he runs a business?So you don’t think James Timpson, for example, is a good appointment based on this criteria?
You are not wrong there. Me and Mrs PPT walked from Piccadilly Station down to Deansgate last week. What an absolute shit tip Manchester has become. It’s a human zoo of the worst kind. It’s an embarrassment. If that is the first view and impression that visitors to Manchester get, when they get off the train, then god help us. The charlatan that is Burnham has a lot to answer for.I'm still waiting for the grifter to solve the homeless crisis in Manchester, there are more and more beggars on the street and Piccadilly gardens resembles an open air mental ward.

nope........it will happen especially now.What happened was it scrapped ?
Not sure why you’re asking. It’s clear he’s been appointed as Prisons minister due to his heavy involvement in the rehabilitation of prisoners whether in his business or due to the work carried out by the charity he leads. His ability to run his business or charity alone haven’t qualified him for a government position.What do you think the differences are in running a business or a charity? I’ll wait.
