This Christmas, we sat down to ask a simple question: what would Manchester actually ask Andy Burnham for if he were Farther Christmas?In this Christmas episode, we talk through a Manchester Christmas wish list - from fair, inflation-linked pay for transport workers, to better communication, visibility and accountability from the Mayor himself. With public services under pressure and trust in politics stretched thin, we reflect on what leadership should look like in 2025 and beyond.This isn’t about party politics - it’s about the everyday realities facing people across Greater Manchester, and what could make a real difference to workers, commuters and communities.Happy Christmas from all of us - and thanks to everyone who’s supported the channel this year across our social platforms.
