The Mancunian Way: Queen Elizabeth's surname?

Voters in Greater Manchester are feeling angry and disillusioned ahead of local elections. Reporters spoke to people across the region, who cited issues such as the cost of living and immigration. A pensioner told a reporter that the government has 'put the country in the s**t', while others expressed frustration about people coming to the UK on boats and receiving housing and other benefits. Andy Burnham, the Greater Manchester mayor, was frequently mentioned as a popular figure, with some suggesting he should replace Labour leader Keir Starmer. The issue of Gaza was also found to be a defining issue, cutting through long-standing loyalties. Local elections will take place tomorrow, with results to be reported from 10pm.
