Listen on

Episode notes

In this week's episode, The Mill's editor Joshi Herrmann, who broke the news that a Manchester councillor has been suspended by the party, speaks to Darryl Morris about the political infighting behind the story. We discuss an 'incendiary' letter written by a councillor who is quitting after just six months, and the vicious selection process in Burnage, which some see as a proxy war for the future leadership of the city council. All in the week that Sir Richard Leese stepped down and was replaced by Bev Craig. It's a must listen. We also have the latest Covid-19 numbers, an update on Night and Day Cafe and our tips for the week.
