And Burnham should take serious note of this:
"And last year the Ulez helped us to get levels of nitrogen oxide – one of the most toxic pollutants in our air – within legal limits almost two centuries before experts predicted we would. Between 2019 and 2024, estimated deaths associated with air pollution in London fell by an estimated 40%."
Because unlike Sadiq, Burnham backed down as soon as there was serious opposition to the already very weak Clean Air Zone for #GreaterManchester.

The Manchester mayoral result holds the key for the future of progressive politics | Neal Lawson
By Neal Lawson

Voters on the left are more fragmented than ever – but they will pull together behind a convincing cross-party message

MANCHESTER: Rightwing votes didn't transfer well.

The #GreaterManchester Mayoral Election opinion poll predicted (or assumed) 100% use of #secondpreferences in each of the left and right blocs.

The actual result was that 73% of leftwing votes transferred to Labour, but only 52% of rightwing votes transfered to ReformUK.

Green + LibDem = 79,670. Transfers to Bev Craig (Labour) = 58,076 (73٪)

Restore + Cons = 87,310. Transfers to Sian Astley (ReformUK) = 45,250 (52%)

#UKPol #GreaterManchester

Lots of people are decrying the low turnout in the #GreaterManchester mayoral by-election as evidence of disengagement, or of people not seeing the contest as important.

I’d assumed it had more to do with the result feeling like a foregone conclusion, plus a touch of election fatigue.

It was also originally framed as an epic battle between Reform and Labour, but the Clacton by-election rather drew Reform’s attention away from it.

#manchester

As a Green Party member I'm disappointed in the Green vote, but elated that Reform received such a drubbing. However, Restore received 8.7% of the vote, beating the Tories, which is very concerning.

Also concerning is the very low 25% turnout, which indicates a lack of faith in the post of mayor and democracy in general.
