Claims of a 'fix' with no elections due in 2025

There have never been any plans for voters to go to the polls in any of the 10 boroughs which make up the city region in 2025.

And after Andy Burnham was elected in May, the next Greater Manchester mayoral run-off is not until 2028.

But that hasn't stopped some critics of the government claiming it is all a fix.

Some have taken to social media to incorrectly say that elections in the borough have been cancelled due to fear of opposition parties.

This is simply untrue.
