Here's what it could mean for honesty in public life, in a bid to eradicate "cover up culture":

A really lively end to this series of the #GranadaDebate!

What next for welfare reform? How do we deliver justice for victims of Britain's biggest scandals? And which political party has really come out on top this year?

The #GranadaDebate returns at 22:45.

Will a new grooming gangs inquiry really deliver change for survivors? Who were the winners / losers of the Govt's spending review? And is paternity leave in need of a rethink?

The North West's Metro Mayors were in parliament today urging the Government to invest in a new railway between Manchester and Liverpool

@metromayorsteve.bsky.social and @andyburnham.bsky.social say it's the missing piece in their plan for the "Northern Arc" - a growth corridor across the North.

The MP for Southport is calling for an urgent review of Axel Rudakubana's sentence, saying it's "unduly lenient" and his community "deserves nothing less" than that the killer spends his whole life behind bars.
The sentence handed down today is not severe enough, it is not long enough for the crimes committed, we need a sentence that represents the severity of this crime that has terrorised the victims and their families.

The Health Secretary has confirmed some of the 25 "new" hospitals promised but not funded by the last Govt will have to be delayed. In the North West that means work starts in:

2027/2028 (North Manchester General)

2035 - 2039 (Royal Lancaster Infirmary / Royal Preston Hospital)

The #GranadaDebate returns to our screens at 22:45 tonight!

Should there be a national public inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal? Is an NHS winter crisis the new normal? And what should we make of Govt plans for an AI revolution?

MP Mike Amesbury has pleaded guilty to assaulting a man in the street.

The MP for Runcorn and Helsby was suspended from the Labour party in October after CCTV footage emerged showing him punching a man in Frodsham town centre.

The first questions of the first PMQs of the year focus on the grooming gangs scandal amid opposition calls for a full public inquiry.

PM says he's spoken to survivors this morning - "what is needed now is action about what we already know... not the delay of a further inquiry"
