My @ManchesterMill subscription already repays me in spades, but the 2 part investigation into the 1996 IRA bomb in Manchester is outstanding even by its already high standards. Great work by @tobyhayden666 @jackdulhanty and @cameronbarr 👏

This is a first class account of the Manchester bomb, 30 years on. A characteristically thrilling read, as one would expect from @tobyharnden author of Bandit Country.
Must read, can't wait for part 2.

A stunning piece of work by @tobyharnden and @jackdulhanty and a thrilling read - told over two days. It names the IRA men behind it.

I’ve been working on this for @ManchesterMill recently, culminating in a return to South Armagh last weekend

We can now tell the real story of what really happened in 1996: including naming most of those who were responsible and explaining how the politics of the “peace process” got in the way of suspects being prosecuted for the attack.

We show that the plot was directed from the very top of the Irish republican movement and that it involved a shadowy figure in South Armagh who later built up a large property portfolio in Manchester.
We also reveal, that the IRA had a mysterious ‘inside man’ in Manchester.

In March 2023, two men who have been inseparable for 16 years fell out spectacularly in Austin, Texas. And while the encounter did not lead to a saloon bar shootout, it did briefly threaten one of the closest and most productive relationships in British politics...

In one telling, Lee is a Lady Macbeth figure, urging Burnham on when his nerve is faltering and passing him the dagger.
“Andy must wake up sometimes and think ‘Do I really want to be doing this? Do I really want the top job?’ And Kevin must be saying ‘Of course you do Andy’”

One person has been pivotal to Andy Burnham's political career, and you've probably never heard of him. Who is Kevin Lee, Burnham's 'man in the shadows'?
Lee has been the mayor’s ultraloyal advisor for 16 years, described to us as both omnipresent and dogged.

But Lee certainly isn't the only person whispering to Burnham. We’ve found seven others who have guided his political career, offering an insight into the way he governs — and who he might gather around him in Downing Street, if the voters of Makerfield give him that chance.

So who influences Andy Burnham, and how did one trip to Austin, Texas, back in 2023 threaten to severe one of the closest and most productive relationships in British Politics?
