I was wrong - there are more flares. Not a clue what they’re saying, but I’m a big fan of this tune. Catchy. @MENnewsdesk

Reaction from Mayor @AndyBurnhamGM over Tier 3 announcement focuses on business support. "What we believe is completely wrong is the Government’s decision to provide no additional business support to areas in Tier 3 than those in Tiers 1 and 2."

This is the other side of Oldham Street. The two victims were attacked just on the corner outside Morrisons, I’m told. Police responded in moments and shot off after the offenders but no arrests as it stands. An eyewitness said it was clearly a targeted attack on the two men.

I’m down near the Hilton hotel on Deansgate where families affected by the bombing were able to watch a live stream of the court proceedings. One told me there was a loud shout of ‘YES’ when the 55 year term was handed out by Justice Baker, but most remained quiet. @MENnewsdesk

Bang on the money from @JenWilliamsMEN Amazing how little uproar there seems to be about troubles at GMP in our local political circles when crime is such a big issue for every part of Greater Manchester. Austerity cuts isn't the only bit of the story.

Why politicians, not just top cops, must bear responsibility for police failures

Greater Manchester Police was placed into special measures last month and the Chief Constable swiftly quit. But what had politicians been doing? Jennifer Williams investigates

Sadly one of the biggest concerns the emergency services have had with #saddleworthfire is people driving/walking up to have a look. They’re blocking roads and endangering staff. Please stay away

First and foremost this is just a devastating read. Find it so hard to comprehend the approach of those who should have protected these girls. We will keep asking tough questions.
