18th Century Stringer should go!
Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Spokesperson for Manchester Blackley, Iain Donaldson, has called on the Labour Party to stop vilifying veteran Labour MP Graham Stringer for his views on climate change and Britain's place in Europe, stating "That's my job!" Mr Stringer, contrary to what his views suggest, is Labour MP for Blackley and Broughton Constituency, which straddles the cities of Manchester and Salford. In September, 2017 Mr Stringer was one of seven Labour MPs to vote with Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservative Government in favour of the EU Withdrawal Bill which removes powers from Parliament and vests them with Ministers, and in the same month he was appointed to the Commons Science and Technology Committee, meant to ensure government decisions are based on sound scientific evidence, just two years after joining Tory climate science denier Nigel Lawson's organisation the Global Warming Policy Foundation, Britain's leading climate sceptic group which lobbies to prevent pro-climate legislation.

Labour's latest sacred cow under attack from the arts world
Manchester's Labour bosses stand accused of paying lip-service to making buildings disabled accessible as they fail to include suitable wheelchair access in the planning conditions for their latest sacred cow, a £ 112 million arts centre, to be called "The Factory" on the site of the former Granada Studios. The board overseeing the new development have drawn criticism after failing to feature a single qualified architect and as a result the project has already been hit by a number of push-backs including a £1.65m overspend on redesigning the theatre to rectify acoustics problems before a single brick was laid.

Give the people the final say on Brexit.
National campaign group Best for Britain and Manchester's Opposition Liberal Democrats, are calling on the City Council to pass an official policy motion in support of a the final say on the Brexit deal. In the referendum in 2016 Manchester voted by a large majority to remain in the European Union, and with thousands of jobs in the City under threat, and EU Grants that have helped rebuild the city no longer available, Manchester will be much worse off out under any Brexit deal.
