I don't fancy Andy #Burnham's policies or personnel. They look like #Blairism in a Hovis wrapper.

But I give him 19 out of 10 for dumping the collar & tie, at least when he's Manchester Andy.

He now has the status to end the absurd petty tyranny of the #CollarAndTie in British public life. If he stands his ground, others will follow.

In my grandfather's generation, all men were required to wear a tie. Now it's gone on the arts, tech, cops and many other jobs. Time to finish it off.

A graphic features a red background at the top and bottom surrounding a central photograph. The top section contains white text that reads, "Andy Burnham" and below it, "The liberator of men?". In the center, a person wearing glasses and a black blazer over a black shirt is smiling with an open mouth while holding both hands up near their shoulders. A small yellow pin is on their lapel, and two microphones are visible at the bottom edge of the photograph. The bottom section contains white text that reads, "From the collar and tie".
