Former England and Manchester United star Gary Neville, now a businessman in the northern city, slammed Sir Keir Starmer for failing to take a position on the draconian tiers. He insisted the Labour leader had a duty to be 'bold' and oppose the new rules that came into effect last week because there was not enough economic support alongside them.
