A BBC debate for the Greater Manchester mayoralty wrapped up on Thursday. Four candidates took part in the live event. Talk centered on housing and travel costs across the region. Some groups pushed candidates to condemn human rights allegations tied to deals with the UAE. Andy Burnham again faced questions about how his agenda cuts across the area. People keep holding small discussions to set debate topics for the race. Elections will now unfold for October 2026.
