But the lack of outright condemnation from Tameside Reform for Cllr Dunning's comments has shocked some, while others have accused Tameside Labour of pointing figures with unclean hands, pointing to the party's own chequered history...

One of the things I’ve always found weird is how reticent the architects of the very successful Manchester project are to engage in public debate.
Today one of the big brains of (real) Manchesterism takes aim at its critics. Including The Mill..

In defence of Manchester’s Abu Dhabi deals
@emmerich_mike, an ally of Sir Howard Bernstein, argues that critics of Manchester’s economic model are rewriting history.

When the building was put to a vote for English Heritage listed status in 1995 Manchester Evening News reporter Janet Reeder called it an "eyesore".
It gained listed status later that year anyway. (2/3)
Now, it sits empty, and nobody can figure out how to bring it back to life.

Over the past 20 years, Sheffield man Rob Beal has worked as a senior civil servant, become an expert in airline safety, and hob-nobbed with football bigwigs from Qatar.
But none of that is true. He is actually Sheffield’s most successful media hoaxster.

A neighbour, Dwayne, says: “They’re not all HMOs... mostly there are just ethnic people living here.” Yet for others, they feel concerns around HMOs for asylum seekers are ignored. "I don’t want anyone who I know nothing about – young men all of them – moving in", a local says.
The attacks have divided Salford, prompting public outrage, as well as praise, across social media. The message, scrawled in black paint over doors and walls - "NO HMOs" - appears unambiguous, but the facts behind it are considerably less so.

The Mill can reveal that a University of Manchester academic co-authored a research paper linked to Chinese espionage.
Last month, a "shock wave" rippled through British universities, according to the Guardian. It began when MI5 issued a rare alert to the UK university sector...
A uni spokesperson told us they "require researchers to undertake appropriate due diligence on collaborations" and they have identified no relationship between the university and CGTRI...
However, the alert raises questions about how much responsibility universities should shoulder to protect their researchers from becoming involved in projects tainted by foreign interference.

“But beneath the iced lattes, the run club and the confected Mancunian charm is a darker reality at Musera — one shrouded in mystery, poked at by online sleuths and told here in full technicolour.”
Fascinating piece from @ethanpenneh for @ManchesterMill.

The report was commissioned in light of our reporting last year, which uncovered the "sleazy" behaviour of senior officials at a 2024 awards ceremony.
