Burnham to release details of Man City meetings

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said he will release details of his meetings with senior figures at Manchester City following criticism of his comments after the club was found guilty of all charges related to breaches of the Premier League's financial rules.

An independent commission held a 42-day hearing in 2024, which led to the verdict announced last month, with the City also found guilty of all charges except one relating to non-cooperation with the Premier League investigation.

Burnham's previous role as mayor of Greater Manchester has led to questions about his relationship with City's Abu Dhabi ownership, with Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch demanding No 10 release all details of meetings between the prime minister and senior figures at the club.
