The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Andy Burnham: Tier 3 lockdown will increase levels of poverty, homelessness and hardship” – below is their description.
Andy Burnham has accused the government of walking away from negotiations over Greater Manchester entering a Tier 3 lockdown, which he said will “increase levels of poverty, homelessness and hardship”. The area will be put in the highest Covid alert level unilaterally as a consequence. The Mayor of Greater Manchester said the 10 boroughs estimated that the cost of the restrictions would be £15m a month. He added that they were prepared to go down to £65m for the next six months, but the Government’s final offer was £60m. It is understood that all pubs and bars will be shut for 28 days, unless they are serving substantial meals. Betting shops, casinos, bingo halls, adult gaming centres, and soft play areas will also be forced to close.
