Appearing on BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Mr Burnham said: "I was really disappointed on Friday that the first minister of Scotland just announced out of the blue - as far as we were concerned - a travel ban saying that people couldn't travel from Scotland to Manchester and Salford, and people couldn't go the other way.
"The SNP are treating the north of England with the same contempt in bringing that in without any consultation with us."Mr Burnham said he would write to Ms Sturgeon and ask for the Scottish government to compensate local people who had planned to travel to Scotland and businesses that could lose bookings.
"The virus, as we know, moves very fast, decisions are made very fast and those decisions are communicated at a four-nations level," he said.
hypocrisy? why not ask Andy Burnham about Wales Labour government banning travel from England last year. BBC article is inaccurate, England currently has a higher infection rate than Scotland, please fix lynseybews GlennBBC BBCGaryR BBCLisaSummers BBCHughPym robertcuffe
Show pony interested in self-promotion ahead of leadership challenge should haud his wheesht. Not a tenth of the political nous or compassion of the FM.
Wasn't the biggest problem in certain areas that politicians did absolutely nothing to reduce the spread of Covid? Which areas were they again?
Hmm … looks like Ms Sturgeon is setting her stall out for someone to blame when rates go up in Scotland after 20,000 Scots return from London 🤔
She should have stopped 20k Scottish supporters from coming down to London then.
People outside of Manchester could Not give a Shit what he has to say .
Unfortunately Ms Sturgeon made no attempt to stop 20.000 Scottish Football fans possibly transmitting Delta Virus on the streets of London ,how hypocritical is that !!
No problem..let's all go to Manchester 🤦♂️
Right bought a new car took for a spin..
For once I agree with her!
So what the Scots don’t want the Mancs in Scotland 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why would anyone want to go to Manchester in the first place its the arm pit of yhe country
BBCPolitics Great interview
Pathetically getting defensive by criticising Scotland shows he can’t feel the humility necessary to accept Scotland is right
Why would anyone who lives in beautiful Scotland want to visit the sh!thole that is Manchester?
Yep fake fake fake news BBC enemy of the people of the world. Keep pushing the COVID-19 fear. In god we trust. Fake fake fake news BBC
Nicola will have us all wearing a GPS tag at this rate. Hiding the fact that Scotland is behind England and Wales on vaccinations, and that in Scotland the real superspreader is schools.
Whose a bigger hypocrite than AndyBurnhamGM. Lets see, his march up to Scotland to side with the Tories and the NO campaign (2014) and the fact that he only came out in support of the Hillsborough families at the death. King of the North? Your having a laugh
It's common sense.
Remember Stafford on your watch ?
Says one agitator to another.
The SNP’s “us & them” agenda. Nationalism ideology is & will always be about instilling a “us & them” ideology. “This is our corner of the island” mentality is exactly why I despise nationalism. It is the exact same mentality that gave us Brexit.
