The Mayor of Greater Manchester has accused the Home Secretary of “deliberately setting out to try and divide people.”

Speaking on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday, Mr Burnham said: “It’s trying to whip up feeling and we’ve never really seen this type of rhetoric from a British home secretary.

“Manchester is a city that has always been based on unity and solidarity between people and I think what we are seeing is a home secretary deliberately setting out to try and divide people.”
