bbc radio: The Conservatives pledged in their manifesto to invest tens of billions in the region's infrastructure, according to The Guardian. Infrastructure is decades away very easy things for politicians to promise because actually it is not going to be delivered anytime soon, Burnham told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester and a former Labour leadership hopeful, said people across the north should be wary of such promises. The north definitely does need new infrastructure. But they can't say that they are doing everything to the north by simply promising infrastructure in the distant future. The rail chaos that we see this morning even, with more cancellations across the north, is due to Victorian infrastructure more than anything.
