While people wonder whether Andy Burnham *will* seek to use Clive Lewis' seat as a potential route back the House of Commons, in his day job as Mayor of Manchester, he has organised a £1bn regional investment fund (using a range of funds) to drive regional development around Greater Manchester.

There will be many who might prefer him to keep his focus on his day job & this sort of development, than play around with a (renewed) national role?
