A £55m loan to property companies controlled by Manchester City's Abu Dhabi owner, made while Andy Burnham was mayor of Greater Manchester, is to be investigated by councillors.

Labour leader Andy Burnham has dramatically revived the Brexit debate, stating that the UK's current arrangement with the European Union is inadequate and refusing to rule out full re-entry. "Sticking with the status quo is not good enough for Britain," he said this week, marking the most explicit call for a potential reversal from a major party leader since the 2016 vote.
