is that something you welcome, andy burnham?f england needs more power. we can never go through a summer like the one we have just had where we have been calling all summer on the government to help us sort things out and that call has gone unanswered. you cannot say this for the north of england and to pay for this as he seemed to say, north of england. it was the government promised the north a northern powerhouse and it is time they delivered it. i am not suggesting for one moment it is the north who pays for it on their own but a great first step if you want to mirror the powers of transport for london is for the revenues to be invested back in northern transport and just to be clear about the disruption over this summer, i have said on repeated occasions it has been completely unacceptable, the service we have seen, on northern rail, but it is quite complicated because those new timetables were notjust introduced by the government, transport for the north satjointly with the government and i have heard government ministers,

we are joined now by the mayor greater manchester, andy burnham.t is a bit like transport for london but with less power. according to chris grayling, everything is going to be fine? not if you speak to people in greater manchester. we have had another terrible day on the trains. people unable to get into work. we have had four months of chaos and itjust goes on and on. we need a solution from chris grayling. he needs to work with transport for the north to find a solution and i would say that is to bring in a troubleshooter who can bang heads together and get services back on track. we cannot carry on in this position. as a passenger, is that something you would welcome? i think so, i hope so. what really needs to be done isjust the demand, northern leaders need to get together and demand that the investment in transport in the north is not only integrated but is made on a par with investment in the south. as the minister for the north, effectively, if i can call you that, but is yourjob? to bang heads together? i have good news. in a spending rev

the so—called leaders in waiting, the so—called leaders in waiting, the likes of yvette cooper, andy burnhamority of the members in the labour party don't support the views of him, and the main labour hierarchy don't. and many mps, he is very strange position now and that was the speculation, does he leave, but his stay, but he wait for the party to change, that could be a long time. 0r never, according to tony blair on friday. and another man who some people say has become increasingly relevant, also talking about his move for the centre ground, cable. he is putting up the inevitable appeal to the disaffected labour mps, saying your natural home surely now is the liberal democrats. he is bound to do that will stop i would say it would seem unlikely that the labour party mp is going to risk his or her career tojoin the labour party mp is going to risk his or her career to join the democrats. they have 12 mps and he is all about self—preservation at the end of the day for a lot of politicians. yvette cooper really going to join the liberal democrats? i very much doubt it. inside the mail on s

one other option floated by the labour mair of manchester andy burnham this morning is that if thereading no deal, why not delay article 50? in other words, why not ask for more time to negotiate a better deal? there's a sense of exhaust narration across much of the country not just from leave voters but some remain voters. the sentiment is we made a decision as a country, you've just got to get on with it. indefinitely postponing isn't the right answer. would you go as far as isn't the right answer. would you go as faras mr isn't the right answer. would you go as far as mr burnham because he said if there was a second referendum there would be unrest. do think a second referendum could actually spark civil protest and disobedience? i don't believe so. but i do think that a second referendum would be very hard to justify democratically. it doesn't seem justify democratically. it doesn't seem fair, when you give the choice to people to make in a referendum and then you ask them to vote again if the establishment doesn't like the answer. that's why i feel a second referendum isn't just
