Greater Manchester's Andy Burnham is the most trusted metro mayor in the country but other parts of the North feel they're losing out because of his success, according to a new report.

A survey described as the largest of its kind about the public’s levelling up priorities reveals 87% of voters in the North West feel their area gets significantly less government spending than it deserves.

This is in stark contrast to the 44% of Londoners who believe their region gets less than its fair share of funding and 50% in the South East.

The survey of 20,000 people by the UK in a Changing Europe Research Initiative and YouTube reveals Labour's Mr Burnham has higher levels of trust than any other metro mayor.
