Just shows that I now get my Manchester news from The Mill, I've just negotiated the MEN website to get the information on what Sir Richard Leese is going to be doing. That energy had to go somewhere!

Superb piece, Joshi, warts n'all - thanks for spending the time on it. I hope Richard Leese recognises that, in its way, you've paid him a huge compliment by writing it.

Well written article Joshi, gets to the heart of the man I knew very little about. Richard Leese comes across as someone who is passionate about Manchester and I wonder what he will now do with his time? Is he retiring or still going to be involved in the council or local Labour group. It will be difficult, I think, for someone like Leese to just fade away into the background. Are we 'to watch this space' ?

Thanks for this in depth look at such an important 21stCentury cog in the Manchester machine.
