Andy Burnham responds to Matt Hancock's resignation

on

The re-elected Mayor of Greater Manchester has had his say on the Hancock scandal.

Matt Hancock's resignation from the current UK Government has prompted a huge reaction from across social media.

The now former Health Secretary stepped down after photos and a video were published of him kissing top aide Gina Coladangelo, taken from CCTV cameras within Whitehall offices.

While many politicians went for more conventional attack lines, Andy Burnham came up with something that is more Mancunian.

Burnham tweeted: "This might be a controversial opinion but I think Concrete Love is the best Courteeners album."

The Courteeners have produced a string of anthems and albums - but their fourth album, Concrete Love, was not as well received.

Some of album's songs might get an outing during their upcoming gig at Emirates Old Trafford

The tweet had a mixed response from social media users.

Jordan Willis argued: "Very controversial Andy. Can’t see past Falcon myself.."

Another said: "St Jude come on Andy your better than that."

Moving away from the debate over The Courteeners best album, Matt Hancock published this video. This had a much angrier response.
