Details of UK PM Burnham's Manchester City meetings published
The disclosure follows criticism over Burnham’s response to Manchester City’s Premier League breach ruling and includes meetings, matchday contact and overseas visits.
- On Monday, the Greater Manchester Combined Authority released details of Prime Minister Andy Burnham's past meetings with Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, following criticism of his response to the club's financial regulation breaches.
- Criticism emerged last month after Burnham described the club's owners as "a huge partner in the building of modern Manchester," which opposition politicians interpreted as defending the club against financial misconduct findings.
- Records show Burnham met Mubarak at a 2021 Global Investment Summit and informally at a 2019 testimonial match, while Manchester City staff supported mayoral delegations to China and Japan during his tenure.
- Downing Street subsequently clarified that the Prime Minister believes the judgment is serious and those responsible should face "appropriate consequences," while Burnham promised MPs all his dealings with club owners would be published.
- These disclosures respond to demands from the Liberal Democrat party for transparency regarding Burnham's relationship with club officials, concluding his tenure as mayor from May 2017 until June 2026.
